Ephesians 4:21-32

21if indeed you 1have heard Him and have 2been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to 3rid yourselves of the 4old 5self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the 6lusts of deceit, 23and that you are to be 7renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24and to 8put on the 9new 10self, which 1112in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

25Therefore, 13ridding yourselves of falsehood, 14speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are 15parts of one another. 2616Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not 17give the devil 18an opportunity. 28The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather 19he must labor, 20producing with his own hands what is good, 21so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. 29Let no 2223unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for 24edification 25according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 3026Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 27by whom you were 28sealed for the day of redemption. 3129All bitterness, wrath, anger, 30clamor, and slander must be 31removed from you, along with all 32malice. 3233Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, 34just as God in Christ also has forgiven 35you.
