Ephesians 5:3

PuritySelf-controlTemptation

1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

2 and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.

But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.

4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.

5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
