Ephesians 5:3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
But Don’t Let Any Kind of Impurity Or Greed Exist Among You
3 But let sexual-immorality and all impurity or greed not even be named[a] among you, as is proper for saints— 4 and filthiness[b] and foolish-talk or coarse-joking[c], which are not fitting, but rather thanksgiving.
You Know This Is Right, So Don’t Be Partakers With Those Inheriting Wrath
5 For you know this[d]— recognizing[e] that every sexually-immoral or impure or greedy person (that is, an idolater) does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Ephesians 5:3-5
New International Version
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(A) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(B) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(C) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(D) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(E)—has any inheritance(F) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a](G)

Ephesians 5:3-5
King James Version
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
