Bible verse
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
Ephesians 5:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ephesians 5.
2 and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.
3 But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.
4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.
5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
9 for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
10 Test and prove what pleases the Lord.
