Ephesians 4:17-32

17SoG3767 I tellG3004 you thisG3778, andG2532 insistG3143 on it inG1722 the LordG2962, that you mustG4771 no longerG3371 walkG4043 asG2531 theG3588 GentilesG1484 doG4043, inG1722 the futilityG3153 ofG3588 theirG846 thinkingG3563. 18They are darkenedG4656 inG3588 their understandingG1271 and alienated fromG526 theG3588 lifeG2222 of GodG2316 because ofG1223 theG3588 ignoranceG52 that isG1510 inG1722 themG846 due toG1223 theG3588 hardnessG4457 ofG3588 theirG846 heartsG2588. 19Having lost all sense of shameG524, they have given themselves overG3860G1438 toG3588 sensualityG766 forG1519 the practiceG2039 of every kindG3956 of impurityG167, withG1722 a craving for moreG4124.

20ButG1161 this is not the wayG3779G3756 youG4771 came to knowG3129 ChristG5547. 21SurelyG1487G1065 you heard ofG191 HimG846 andG2532 were taughtG1321 inG1722 HimG846—in keeping withG2531 the truthG225 that isG1510 inG1722 JesusG2424— 22to put offG659 yourG4771 formerG4386 way of lifeG391, your oldG3820 selfG444, whichG3588 is being corruptedG5351 byG2596 its deceitfulG539 desiresG1939; 23to be renewedG365 in theG3588 spiritG4151 ofG3588 yourG4771 mindsG3563; 24andG2532 to put onG1746 theG3588 newG2537 selfG444, createdG2936 to be likeG2596 GodG2316 inG1722 trueG225 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 holinessG3742.

25ThereforeG1352 eachG1538 of you must put offG659 falsehoodG5579 and speakG2980 truthfullyG225 toG3326 hisG846 neighborG4139, forG3754 we are allG1510 membersG3196 of one anotherG240. 26“Be angryG3710, yetG2532 do notG3361 sinG264.”1 Do not letG3361 theG3588 sunG2246 setG1931 uponG1909 yourG4771 angerG3950, 27and do notG3366 giveG1325 theG3588 devilG1228 a footholdG5117.

28He whoG3588 has been stealingG2813 must stealG2813 no longerG3371, butG1161 must workG2872, doingG2038 goodG18 withG3588 his ownG2398 handsG5495, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 something to share withG3330 theG3588 one in needG5532.

29Let noG3361G3956 unwholesomeG4550 talkG3056 comeG1607 out ofG1537 yourG4771 mouthsG4750, butG235 onlyG1487 what isG5100 helpfulG18 forG4314 building upG3619 theG3588 one in needG5532 and bringingG1325 graceG5485 to thoseG3588 who listenG191.

30AndG2532 do notG3361 grieveG3076 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, inG1722 whomG3739 you were sealedG4972 forG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.

31Get rid ofG142G575G4771 allG3956 bitternessG4088, rageG2372 andG2532 angerG3709, outcryG2906 andG2532 slanderG988, along withG4862 every formG3956 of maliceG2549. 32BeG1096 kindG5543 and tenderheartedG2155 toG1519 one anotherG240, forgivingG5483 each otherG1438 justG2532 asG2531 inG1722 ChristG5547 GodG2316 forgaveG5483 youG4771.
