Ephesians 4:26-32

26 1Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

27and do not 2give the devil 3an opportunity.

28He who steals must steal no longer; but rather 4he must labor, 5performing with his own hands what is good, 6so that he will have something to share with 7one who has need.

29Let no 8 9unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for 10edification 11according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

30 12Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 13by whom you were 14sealed for the day of redemption.

31 15Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be 16put away from you, along with all 17malice.

32 18Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, 19just as God in Christ also has forgiven 20you.
