Ephesians 5:3–4 — The New International Version (NIV)

Ephesians 5:3–4 — English Standard Version (ESV)

Ephesians 5:3–4 — New Living Translation (NLT)

Ephesians 5:3–4 — The New King James Version (NKJV)

Ephesians 5:3–4 — New Century Version (NCV)
3 But there must be no sexual sin among you, or any kind of evil or greed.

Instead, you should be giving thanks to God.
Ephesians 5:3–4 — American Standard Version (ASV)

Ephesians 5:3–4 — GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
3 Don’t let sexual sin, perversion of any kind, or greed even be mentioned among you. This is not appropriate behavior for God’s holy people. 4 It’s not right that dirty stories, foolish talk, or obscene jokes should be mentioned among you either. Instead, give thanks ⸤to God⸥.
