The life patterns of such early disciples as Paul and Timothy bear that out; they refrained from immorality, Paul even writing: “Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greediness not even be mentioned among you, just as it befits holy people; neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting. ” ​ — Ephesians 5: 3, 4.
Ata qëndruan larg imoralitetit, e madje Pavli shkroi: « Kurvëria, ndyrësia e çdo lloji ose lakmia as të mos përmenden ndër ju, ashtu siç u ka hije të shenjtëve; as sjellja e turpshme, as e folura pa mend, as shaka të ndyra. » ​ — Efesianëve 5: 3, 4.
