Ephesians 4:25-29

25Therefore, 1laying aside falsehood, 2speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are 3members of one another.

26 4Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

27and do not 5give the devil 6an opportunity.

28He who steals must steal no longer; but rather 7he must labor, 8performing with his own hands what is good, 9so that he will have something to share with 10one who has need.

29Let no 11 12unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for 13edification 14according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
