Mace(i)
1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as his dear children; live together in love,
2 for Christ loved us, and for us gave himself an offering and a sacrifice acceptable to God.
3 But fornication, and all impurity, or inordinate desire, let it not be approved by you, as being unworthy of christians: neither ribaldry,
4 nor buffoonry, which they call pleasantry, but is indecent: be you rather exercised in social virtue.
5 for this you know, that no licentious or dissolute person, no lewd libertine, that is, an idolater, hath any part in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.
6 let no man mislead you by vain reasonings: for it is for these vices, that the wrath of God lights upon the incredulous.
7 don't you therefore be concern'd with them.
8 you were heretofore altogether in the dark, but now being enlightned by the Lord, behave as children of light:
9 for the natural effect of light, is universal benevolence, justice, and truth:
10 consider what is acceptable to the Lord;
11 and be not accomplices in the fruitless practices of vice; on the contrary, condemn them.
