Ephesians 5:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 and (A)walk in love, just as Christ also (B)loved [a]you and (C)gave Himself up for us, an (D)offering and a sacrifice to God [b]as a (E)fragrant aroma.
3 But (F)immorality [c]or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among [d]saints; 4 and there must be no (G)filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which (H)are not fitting, but rather (I)giving of thanks.

Ephesians 5:2-4
New International Version
2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us(A) and gave himself up for us(B) as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.(C)
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(D) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(E) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(F) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(G)
