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.
18  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 ¶  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27  That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28  So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29  For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30  For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32  This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33  Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

And then back the dont's in Ephesians 5:3-7
As Christ sacrificed so should we sacrifice for one another. As He loved so should we love in that sacrifice.
The even go so far to say in Ephesians 5:11 to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works and to reprove [them].[1]
Nowhere are they saying you can go against these directives of the Apostles and still be saved, but it is not because the exercise authority but speak the truth. The words "Submitting yourselves"[2] is talking about a natural order in love.
Why in 2 Timothy 3:5 are we warned about those "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
The Modern Christians are drawn to a false gospel where there is no need of real repentance.
We must be Doers of the Word and not hearers only.
in verses 3 through 5 Paul again talks about those who shall "Not inherit the kingdom".
What do they mean no fornication, uncleanness, nor covetousness? which we also see in Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry":
Also the terms "filthiness[3], nor foolish talking[4], nor jesting[5]" seem to be the antitheses of "giving of thanks" which is the Greek word eucharistia.[6]
All three of these words only appear once in the Bible here in Paul. They are in between two other groups of three words or phrases. "filthiness(dishonoring), nor foolish talking(impiously speaking), nor jesting(treating serious issues with deliberate condescension.)" which again is all the antitheses of the true Eucharist of Christ.
Paul also again equates three words or phrases "no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man" with idolaters
This really all about not eating things sacrificed to idols which is about the error of Balaam and the Nicolaitan[7] and the wages of unrighteousness.[8]
the head, (b) met: a corner stone, uniting two walls; head, ruler, lord.
The "the washing of water by the word" is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.[9]

'Walk in love

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.

No inheritance in the kingdom

3 ¶ But fornication[10] , and all uncleanness[11], or covetousness[12], let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

4 Neither filthiness[13], nor foolish talking[14], nor jesting[15], which are not convenient[16][17]: but rather giving of thanks[18].

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger[19], nor unclean person[20], nor covetous man[21][22][23], who is an idolater[24][25], hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain[26] words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.[27]

7 Be not ye therefore partakers[28] 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;)[29][30]

10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful[31] works[32] 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.

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

20 Giving thanks[6] always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Wives and Husbands

21 ¶ Submitting yourselves[2] one to another in the fear of God.

22 Wives, submit yourselves[2] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject[2] unto Christ, so let the wives be to own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

    • Benson Commentary states : "The original word, πορνεια, implies criminal conversation of any kind whatever; and is used by the LXX., and by the writers of the New Testament, in the latitude which its correspondent word hath in the Hebrew language, namely, to denote all the different kinds of uncleanness committed, whether between men and women, or between men, or with beasts. Accordingly it is used in the plural number, chap. 1 Corinthians 7:2. Here the word signifies incest joined with adultery, the woman’s husband being still living, as appears from 2 Corinthians 7:12. In the Old Testament whoredom sometimes signifies idolatry, because the union of the Israelites with God as their king being represented by God himself as a marriage, their giving themselves up to idolatry was considered as adultery."
