Ephesians 4:22–31

²²You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put offⁿ your old self,^o which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;^{p 23}to be made new in the attitude of your minds;^{q 24}and to put on^r the new self,^s created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.^t

²⁵Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully^u to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.^{v 26}“In your anger do not sin”^d:^w Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, ²⁷and do not give the devil a foothold.^{x 28}Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work,^y doing something useful with their own hands,^z that they may have something to share with those in need.^a

²⁹Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,^b but only what is helpful for building others up^c according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ³⁰And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,^d with whom you were sealed^e for the day of redemption.^{f 31}Get rid of^g all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.^h
