Ephesians 4:22-32

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 910in 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. 2614Be 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. 29Let no 2122unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for 23edification 24according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 3025Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 26by whom you were 27sealed for the day of redemption. 3128Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be 29put away from you, along with all 30malice. 3231Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, 32just as God in Christ also has forgiven 33you.
