Ephesians 4:20-32

20But you did not 1learn Christ in this way, 21if indeed you 2have heard Him and have 3been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to 4rid yourselves of the 5old 6self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the 7lusts of deceit, 23and that you are to be 8renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24and to 9put on the 10new 11self, which 1213in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

25Therefore, 14ridding yourselves of falsehood, 15speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are 16parts of one another. 2617Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not 18give the devil 19an opportunity. 28The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather 20he must labor, 21producing with his own hands what is good, 22so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. 29Let no 2324unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for 25edification 26according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 3027Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 28by whom you were 29sealed for the day of redemption. 3130All bitterness, wrath, anger, 31clamor, and slander must be 32removed from you, along with all 33malice. 3234Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, 35just as God in Christ also has forgiven 36you.
