22You were taught to change the way you were living. The person you used to be will ruin you through desires that deceive you. 23However, you were taught to have a new attitude. 24You were also taught to become a new person created to be like God, with a life that truly has God’s approval and is holy. 

25So then, get rid of lies. Speak the truth to each other, because we are all members of the same body. 

26Be angry without sinning. Don’t go to bed angry. 27Don’t give the devil any opportunity ⸤to work⸥. 

28Thieves must quit stealing and, instead, they must work hard. They should do something good with their hands so that they’ll have something to share with those in need. 

29Don’t say anything that would hurt ⸤another person⸥. Instead, speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you. 30Don’t give God’s Holy Spirit any reason to be upset with you. He has put his seal on you for the day you will be set free ⸤from the world of sin⸥. 

31Get rid of your bitterness, hot tempers, anger, loud quarreling, cursing, and hatred.
