Ephesians 4:25-32
25ThereforeG1352, 1riddingG659 yourselves ofG659 falsehoodG5579, 2speakG2980 truthG225 eachG1538 oneG1538 of you with his neighborG4139, becauseG3754 we are 3partsG3196 of oneG240 anotherG240.
264BeG3710 angryG3710, and yet do not sinG264; do not let the sunG2246 goG1931 downG1931 on your angerG3950,
27and do not 5giveG1325 the devilG1228 6an opportunityG5117.
28The one who stealsG2813 must noG3371 longerG3371 stealG2813; but ratherG3123 7he must laborG2872, 8producingG2038 with his ownG2398 handsG5495 whatG18 isG18 goodG18, 9soG2443 thatG2443 he will haveG2192 something to shareG3330 with the one who hasG2192 needG5532.
29Let noG3361G3956 1011unwholesomeG4550 wordG3056 comeG1607 outG1607G1537 of your mouthG4750, but ifG1487 there is anyG5100 goodG18 word for 12edificationG3619 13according to the needG5532 of the moment, say that, soG2443 thatG2443 it will giveG1325 graceG5485 to thoseG3588 who hearG191.
3014Do not grieveG3076 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, 15by whomG3739 you were 16sealedG4972 for the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
3117AllG3956 bitternessG4088, wrathG2372, angerG3709, 18clamorG2906, and slanderG988 must be 19removedG142 from you, alongG4862 with allG3956 20maliceG2549.
3221Be kindG5543 to oneG240 anotherG240, compassionateG2155, forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, 22justG2531 asG2531 GodG2316 in ChristG5547 alsoG2532 has forgivenG5483 23you.
