Ephesians 4:22-32

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 910in 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. 2614Be 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. 29Let no 2021unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for 22edification 23according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 3024Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 25by whom you were 26sealed for the day of redemption. 3127All bitterness, wrath, anger, 28clamor, and slander must be 29removed from you, along with all 30malice. 3231Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, 32just as God in Christ also has forgiven 33you.
