God’s View of Our Sin “Ephesians 5:1-17“ daily meditation | daily devotional #2024
Ephesians 5:1-17
[1]Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
[2]And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
[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.
[6]Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
[7]Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
[8]For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
[9](For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
[10]Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
[11]And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
[12]For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
[13]But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
[14]Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
[15]See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
[16]Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
[17]Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
