Ephesians 4:1 (NLT)
“Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.”
Ephesians 5:3‑7 (NLT)
“Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God's people. [4] Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. [5] You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is really an idolater who worships the things of this world. [6] Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of God comes upon all those who disobey him. [7] Don't participate in the things these people do.”
Ephesians 5:1 (NLT)
“Follow God's example in everything you do, because you are his dear children.” Ephesians 5:2 (NLT)“Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him.”
Ephesians 5:8‑9 (NLT)
“For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it! [9] For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.”
Ephesians 5:10‑17 (NLT) “Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. [11] Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them. [12] It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. [13] But when the light shines on them, it becomes clear how evil these things are. [14] And where your light shines, it will expose their evil deeds. This is why it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light." [15] So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. [16] Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. [17] Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do.”
