Ephesians 5:1-20 -- Attitude of Gratitude

• Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
• Let there be no hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.  Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place
• Rather be thankfull.
• No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
• Let no one deceive you with empty words;.
• Live as children of light ⁹ (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) Find out what pleases the Lord.
• Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
• Live not as unwise but as wise,  making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
• Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.
• Be filled with the Spirit,  speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
