Ephesians 4:20-32

20But you did not 1learn 2Christ in this way, 21if indeed you 3have heard Him and have 4been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22that, in reference to your former manner of life, you 5lay aside the 6old 7self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the 8lusts of deceit, 23and that you be 9renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24and 10put on the 11new 12self, which 1314in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

25Therefore, 15laying aside falsehood, 16speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are 17members of one another. 2618Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not 19give the devil 20an opportunity. 28He who steals must steal no longer; but rather 21he must labor, 22performing with his own hands what is good, 23so that he will have something to share with 24one who has need. 29Let no 2526unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for 27edification 28according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 3029Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 30by whom you were 31sealed for the day of redemption. 3132Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be 33put away from you, along with all 34malice. 3235Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, 36just as God in Christ also has forgiven 37you.
