3 But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;

4 and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.

5 For this ye are well informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
