23 And be renewed in spirit of your mind:

24 And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.

25 Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another.

26 Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.

27 Give not place to the devil.

28 He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
