Ephesians 4:17–29

17  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye should no longer walk as the rest of the nations walk in the vanity of their mind, 18  being darkened in understanding, estranged from the life of God by reason of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the hardness of their hearts, 19  who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust. 20  But ye have not thus learnt the Christ, 21  if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as the truth is in Jesus; 22  namely your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts; 23  and being renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24  and your having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness. 25  Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another. 26  Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath, 27  neither give room for the devil. 28  Let the stealer steal no more, but rather let him toil, working what is honest with his hands, that he may have to distribute to him that has need. 29  Let no corrupt word go out of your mouth, but if there be any good one for needful edification, that it may give grace to those that hear it.
