22that you zput off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23and abe renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24and that you bput on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

25Therefore, putting away lying, c“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for dwe are members of one another. 26e“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27fnor give 7place to the devil. 28Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather glet him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something hto give him who has need. 29iLet no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but jwhat is good for necessary 8edification, kthat it may impart grace to the hearers. 30And ldo not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31mLet all bitterness, wrath, anger, 9clamor, and nevil speaking be put away from you, owith all malice. 32And pbe kind to one another, tenderhearted, qforgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
