Ephesians 4:17-32

17ThisG3778 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG4771 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG2532 asG2531 otherG3588G3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3588G3563, 18HavingG4654 the understandingG3588G1271 darkenedG4654, beingG1510 alienated fromG526 the lifeG3588G2222 of GodG3588G2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG3588G52 that isG1510 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG3588G4457 of theirG846 heartG3588G2588: 19WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG3588G766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124. 20ButG1161 yeG4771 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129 ChristG3588G5547; 21If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG1510 inG1722 JesusG3588G2424: 22

That yeG4771 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4386 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, which isG3588 corruptG5351 according toG2596 the deceitfulG3588G539 lustsG3588G1939; 23AndG1161 be renewedG365 in the spiritG3588G4151 of yourG4771 mindG3588G3563; 24AndG2532 that ye put onG1746 the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG3588G225 holinessG3742. 25

WhereforeG1352 putting awayG659 lyingG3588G5579, speakG2980 every manG1538 truthG225 withG3326 hisG846 neighbourG4139: forG3754 we areG1510 membersG3196 one of anotherG240. 26Be ye angryG3710, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG3588G2246 go downG1931 uponG1909 yourG4771 wrathG3588G3950: 27NeitherG3383 giveG1325 placeG5117 to the devilG1228.

28Let himG2813 thatG3588 stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let himG2872 labourG2872, workingG2038 withG3588G5495 his handsG3588G5495 the thing which isG3588 goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him thatG3588 needethG5532. 29

LetG1607 noG3361 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG4771 mouthG3588G4750, butG235 thatG1487 which isG5100 goodG18 toG4314 the useG3588G5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. 30

AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG3588G4151 of GodG3588G2316, wherebyG3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.

31LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142 fromG575 youG4771, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549: 32AndG1161 be yeG1096 kindG5543 oneG240 toG1519 anotherG240, tenderheartedG2155, forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, evenG2532 asG2531 GodG3588G2316 forG1722 Christ’s sakeG5547 hath forgivenG5483 youG4771.
