In Ephesians chapter 5 verses 1 to 16.

Therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children and walk in love just as Christ also loved you and gave himself

up for us an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you as is proper among Saints.

And there must be no filthiness and silly talk

or coarse jesting, which are not fitting,

but rather giving of thanks.

For this you know with certainty

that no immoral or impure person or covetous man

who is an idolater has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes

upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not

be partakers with them. For you are formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light.

For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

Trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord,

and do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness,

but instead even expose them.
