5:3
We have spent a lifetime living in sin, we know all too well how to live un Christlike lives. So part of learning to live Christlike lives means getting rid of the junk in our lives and we now get a list of things to get rid of. “Sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness” are the first three things to be named. They should not even be talked about. Sexual immorality is destructive, and it is closely associated with impurity and covetousness.
5:4
Filthiness, foolish talk and crude joking need to be done away with. These things are very prevalent in our society, so we need to be especially on our guard against them. It is not just a matter of not doing these things, we need to replace them with something good. So in their place we are to put thanksgiving.
