Ephesians 5:2 in Context — Ephesians 5

1 Devenez donc les imitateurs de Dieu, comme des enfants bien-aimés;

2 et marchez dans la charité, à l’exemple de Christ, qui nous a aimés, et qui s’est livré lui-même à Dieu pour nous comme une offrande et un sacrifice de bonne odeur.

3 Que l’impudicité, qu’aucune espèce d’impureté, et que la cupidité, ne soient pas même nommées parmi vous, ainsi qu’il convient à des saints.

4 Qu’on n’entende ni paroles déshonnêtes, ni propos insensés, ni plaisanteries, choses qui sont contraires à la bienséance; qu’on entende plutôt des actions de grâces.
