Scripture Post #536: *NOT NAMED AMONG YOU*

Ephesians 5:

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.

This Scripture was from Apostle Paul to the Saints of Ephesus (Eph. 1:1).

The sins listed here should not be named among those who belong to the LORD. If we're Christians we must act like it. Not act as in: put on an act. Act as in: our actions must reflect JESUS. For HE is our example:

1st Peter 2:21: "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"

V. 22: "Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:"

V. 23: "Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:"

V. 24: "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."

V. 25: "For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."
