Ephesians 4:22-28

22that, in reference to your former manner of life, you 1lay aside the 2old 3self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the 4lusts of deceit, 23and that you be 5renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24and 6put on the 7new 8self, which 9 10in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

25Therefore, 11laying aside falsehood, 12speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are 13members of one another. 26 14Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not 15give the devil 16an opportunity. 28He who steals must steal no longer; but rather 17he must labor, 18performing with his own hands what is good, 19so that he will have something to share with 20one who has need.
