Ephesians 5:3

---

← Ephesians 5:2	Ephesians 5:3 (KJV)	Ephesians 5:4 →
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.	But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;	Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
