Verse

Ephesians 5:3-7

"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. a Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them."

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”
