5 1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children,
2 and live in love, as Christ loved us[a] and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But fornication and impurity of any kind, or greed, must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints.

has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
