Ephesians 4:22-28

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

25Therefore, 11ridding yourselves of falsehood, 12speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are 13parts of one another. 26 14Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not 15give the devil 16an opportunity. 28The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather 17he must labor, 18producing with his own hands what is good, 19so that he will have something to share with the one who has need.
