Ephesians 4:25-29

25Therefore, 1ridding yourselves of falsehood, 2speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are 3parts of one another.

26 4Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

27and do not 5give the devil 6an opportunity.

28The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather 7he must labor, 8producing with his own hands what is good, 9so that he will have something to share with the one who has need.

29Let no 10 11unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for 12edification 13according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
