Ephesians 5:3-5: Not a Hint

This week we will keep diving into Ephesians 5. Read Ephesians 5:1-5.

Our focus this week will be on Ephesians 5:3-5. Ask yourself  the questions below (using Ephesians 5:3-5 to find your answers) and write down the answers in your journal:

  • What is not to be named among you? (Who are the you?)
  • What do you know with certainty?

Look up these key words (remember key words are important words that help unlock the meaning of the text) using Blue Letter Bible (you can get the app for your phone or go online) and write down what you find in your journal:
  • immorality
  • impurity
  • greed
  • proper
  • filthiness
  • silly talk
  • coarse jesting
  • fitting
Let's look at another place in Scripture that talks about something similar (we call this a cross reference). Look up 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and write down in your journal what you learn and how it connects with Ephesians 5:3-5. 

Ask yourself: 
  • who will not inherit the kingdom of God (according to Ephesians 5:3-5)
  • What is not fitting or proper for a saint (follower of Christ)?
  • Why do you think Paul stressed this matter? Does anything you learned this week apply to today? 
Come to Bible Study ready to talk about what you learned!!! Cannot wait ti see you!
