21assuming that myou have heard about him and nwere taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22to oput off pyour old self,6 which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through qdeceitful desires, 23and rto be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24and to put on sthe new self, tcreated after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

25Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you uspeak the truth with his neighbor, for vwe are members one of another. 26wBe angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and xgive no opportunity to the devil. 28Let the thief no longer steal, but rather ylet him labor, zdoing honest work with his own hands, so athat he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29bLet no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give cgrace to those who hear. 30And ddo not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, eby whom you were sealed for the day of fredemption. 31gLet all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32hBe kind to one another, tenderhearted, iforgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Read in Logos
Ephesians 4:30: And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
