21ifG1487 indeedG1065 you 1have heardG191 Him and have 2been taughtG1321 in Him, justG2531 asG2531 truthG225 is in JesusG2424, 22that, inG2596 referenceG2596 toG2596 your formerG4387 wayG391 ofG391 lifeG391, you are to 3ridG659 yourselves ofG659 the 4oldG3820 5selfG444, which is being corruptedG5351 inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the 6lustsG1939 of deceitG539, 23and that you are to be 7renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of your mindsG3563, 24and to 8putG1746 on the 9newG2537 10selfG444, which 11 12in the likeness of GodG2316 has been createdG2936 in righteousnessG1343 and holinessG3742 of the truthG225.

25ThereforeG1352, 13riddingG659 yourselves ofG659 falsehoodG5579, 14speakG2980 truthG225 eachG1538 oneG1538 of you with his neighborG4139, becauseG3754 we are 15partsG3196 of oneG240 anotherG240. 26 16BeG3710 angryG3710, and yet do not sinG264; do not let the sunG2246 goG1931 downG1931 on your angerG3950, 27and do not 17giveG1325 the devilG1228 18an opportunityG5117. 28The one who stealsG2813 must noG3371 longerG3371 stealG2813; but ratherG3123 19he must laborG2872, 20producingG2038 with his ownG2398 handsG5495 whatG18 isG18 goodG18, 21soG2443 thatG2443 he will haveG2192 something to shareG3330 with the one who hasG2192 needG5532. 29Let noG3361 G3956 22 23unwholesomeG4550 wordG3056 comeG1607 outG1607 G1537 of your mouthG4750, but ifG1487 there is anyG5100 goodG18 word for 24edificationG3619 25according to the needG5532 of the moment, say that, soG2443 thatG2443 it will giveG1325 graceG5485 to thoseG3588 who hearG191. 30 26Do not grieveG3076 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, 27by whomG3739 you were 28sealedG4972 for the dayG2250 of redemptionG629. 31 29AllG3956 bitternessG4088, wrathG2372, angerG3709, 30clamorG2906, and slanderG988 must be 31removedG142 from you, alongG4862 with allG3956 32maliceG2549. 32 33Be kindG5543 to oneG240 anotherG240, compassionateG2155, forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, 34justG2531 asG2531 GodG2316 in ChristG5547 alsoG2532 has forgivenG5483 35you.
