Ephesians 4:26-32

26 1Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

27and do not 2give the devil 3an opportunity.

28The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather 4he must labor, 5producing with his own hands what is good, 6so that he will have something to share with the one who has need.

29Let no 7 8unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for 9edification 10according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

30 11Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 12by whom you were 13sealed for the day of redemption.

31 14All bitterness, wrath, anger, 15clamor, and slander must be 16removed from you, along with all 17malice.

32 18Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, 19just as God in Christ also has forgiven 20you.
