Ephesians 5:3-20 (CJB) | TrulyRandomVerse

3

Among you there should not even be mentioned sexual immorality, or any kind of impurity, or greed; these are utterly inappropriate for God’s holy people.

4

Also out of place are obscenity and stupid talk or coarse language; instead, you should be giving thanks.

5

For of this you can be sure: every sexually immoral, impure or greedy person — that is, every idol-worshipper — has no share in the Kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

6

Let no one deceive you with empty talk; for it is because of these things that God’s judgment is coming on those who disobey him.

7

So don’t become partners with them!

8

For you used to be darkness; but now, united with the Lord, you are light. Live like children of light,

9

for the fruit of the light is in every kind of goodness, rightness and truth —

10

try to determine what will please the Lord.

11

Have nothing to do with the deeds produced by darkness, but instead expose them,

12

for it is shameful even to speak of the things these people do in secret.

13

But everything exposed to the light is revealed clearly for what it is,

14

since anything revealed is a light. This is why it says, “Get up, sleeper! Arise from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you!”

15

Therefore, pay careful attention to how you conduct your life — live wisely, not unwisely.

16

Use your time well, for these are evil days.

17

So don’t be foolish, but try to understand what the will of the Lord is.

18

Don’t get drunk with wine, because it makes you lose control. Instead, keep on being filled with the Spirit —

19

sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to each other; sing to the Lord and make music in your heart to him;

20

always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
