Ephesians 4:22-32

22throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.

23Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

24Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

25So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.

26And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,

27for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

28If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need.

29Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

30And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

31Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.

32Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
