004:030 And beware of grieving the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed in preparation for the day of Redemption.
004:031 Let all bitterness and all passionate feeling, all anger and loud insulting language, be unknown among you— and also every kind of malice.
004:032 On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.
005:001 Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.
005:002 And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave
Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice
to God, yielding a fragrant odor.
005:003 But fornication and every kind of impurity, or covetousness,
let them not even be mentioned among you, for they ought
not to be named among God's people.
005:004 Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting—they are all alike discreditable—and in place of these give thanks.
005:005 For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber—or in other words idol-worshipper— has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.
005:006 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.
005:007 Therefore do not become sharers with them.
