Ephesians 5:4

← Ephesians 5:3	Ephesians 5:4 (KJV)	Ephesians 5:5 →
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.	For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
