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. 005:008 There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself. 005:009 Live and act as sons of Light--for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth-- 005:010 and learn in your own experiences what is fully pleasing to the Lord. 005:011 Have nothing to do with the barren unprofitable deeds of darkness, but, instead of that, set your faces against them; 005:012 for the things which are done by these people in secret it is disgraceful even to speak of. 005:013 But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light. 005:014 For this reason it is said, "Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you." 005:015 Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise. 005:016 Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times. 005:017 On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is. 005:018 Do not over-indulge in wine--a thing in which excess is so easy-- 005:019 but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord. 005:020 Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 005:021 and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 005:022 Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;
