Walk in Love

1 Thereforea be imitators of God as dear bchildren.  
2 And awalk in love, bas Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God cfor a sweet-smelling aroma.  
3 But fornication and all auncleanness or bcovetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;  
4 aneither filthiness, nor bfoolish talking, nor coarse jesting, cwhich are not fitting, but rather dgiving of thanks.  
5 For1 this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any ainheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.  
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Therefore do not be apartakers with them.  

Walk in Light

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are alight in the Lord. Walk as children of light  
9 (for athe fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),  
10 afinding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
