22that, in referenceG2596 to your formerG4387 mannerG391 of lifeG391, you 1layG659 asideG659 the 2oldG3820 3selfG444, which is being corruptedG5351 in accordanceG2596 with the 4lustsG1939 of deceitG539, 23and that you be 5renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of your mindG3563, 24and 6putG1746 on the 7newG2537 8selfG444, which 910in the likeness of GodG2316 has been createdG2936 in righteousnessG1343 and holinessG3742 of the truthG225.

25ThereforeG1352, 11layingG659 asideG659 falsehoodG5579, 12speakG2980 truthG225 eachG1538 oneG1538 of you with his neighborG4139, for we are 13membersG3196 of oneG240 anotherG240. 2614Be angryG3710, and yet do not sinG264; do not let the sunG2246 goG1931 downG1931 on your angerG3950, 27and do not 15giveG1325 the devilG1228 16an opportunityG5117. 28He who stealsG2813 must stealG2813 noG3371 longerG3371; but ratherG3123 17he must laborG2872, 18performingG2038 with his ownG2398 handsG5495 whatG18 is goodG18, 19soG2443 that he will haveG2192 something to shareG3330 with 20oneG3588 who hasG2192 needG5532. 29Let noG3361G3956 2122unwholesomeG4550 wordG3056 proceedG1607 from your mouthG4750, but onlyG1487 suchG5100 a word as is goodG18 for 23edificationG3619 24according to the needG5532 of the moment, soG2443 that it will giveG1325 graceG5485 to thoseG3588 who hearG191. 3025Do not grieveG3076 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, 26by whomG3739 you were 27sealedG4972 for the dayG2250 of redemptionG629. 3128Let allG3956 bitternessG4088 and wrathG2372 and angerG3709 and clamorG2906 and slanderG988 be 29putG142 awayG142 from you, alongG4862 with allG3956 30maliceG2549. 3231Be kindG5543 to oneG240 anotherG240, tender-heartedG2155, forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, 32justG2531 as GodG2316 in ChristG5547 alsoG2532 has forgivenG5483 33you.
