Let it not be once named among you as becometh saints....
Fornication = harlotry (includes adultery and incest)
All uncleanness = impurity, physically or morally
Covetousness = Greediness, fraud, desiring what someone else has
Filthiness = obscenity
Foolish talking = words that ridiculous but amusing (sexual innuendos for a laugh)
Jesting = (sexual) jokes said or done for a laugh
Whoremonger = Male prostitute
Unclean person = lewd, demonic
Covetous man = eager for gain
Idolaters = worships something other than Jesus.
These things are not convenient (proper) for anyone who claims to be saint.
For we know that none of these shall have any inheritancein the Kingdom of Christ.
Let no man deceive you with vain words (don't make excuses for this type behavior!) For BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
If you claim to be a Christian, you can NOT continue to do these things and be saved. They are the works of darkness and are contrary to the ways of God. Sin cannot enter into heaven. They are the unfruitful works of darkness. You were once in darkness but once you become a Christian, we are to walk as children of Light.
Ephesians 5:3-8
