Walk in Love
1jTherefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2And kwalk in love, las Christ loved us and mgave himself up for us, a nfragrant ooffering and sacrifice to God.
3But psexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness qmust not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. 4Let there be rno filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, swhich are out of place, but instead tlet there be thanksgiving. 5For you may be sure of this, that ueveryone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (vthat is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6wLet no one xdeceive you with empty words, for because of these things ythe wrath of God comes upon zthe sons of disobedience. 7Therefore ado not become partners with them; 8for bat one time you were cdarkness, but now you are light in the Lord. dWalk as children of light 9(for ethe fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10and ftry to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11gTake no part in the hunfruitful iworks of darkness, but instead jexpose them. 12For kit is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13But when lanything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
m“Awake, O sleeper,
and narise from the dead,
and oChrist will shine on you.”
15pLook carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16pmaking the best use of the time, because qthe days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what rthe will of the Lord is. 18And sdo not get drunk with wine, for that is tdebauchery, but ube filled with the Spirit, 19addressing one another in vpsalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20wgiving thanks always and for everything to God the Father xin the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21ysubmitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
