That ye put off concerning the former conversation
the old man, which is corrupt according to the
deceitful lust. And be renewed in the spirit of your
mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man
truth with his neighbour: for we are members
one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not:
let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Neither give place to the devil. Let him that
stole steal no more: but rather let him
labour, working with [his] hands the thing
which is good, that he may have to give
to him that needeth. Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath,
and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking,
be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for
Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Be ye
therefore followers of God, as dear children;
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and
a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Ephesians 4::22 - 5:3
