Ephesians 5:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 Being greedy, indecent, or immoral is just another way of worshiping idols. You can be sure people who behave in this way will never be part of the kingdom that belongs to Christ and to God.
Living as People of Light
6 Don't let anyone trick you with foolish talk. God punishes everyone who disobeys him and says[a] foolish things. 7 So don't have anything to do with anyone like that.
