Ephesians, Chapter 4,  verses 17-32

17 The Christian’s Walk
17 So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding,m Or alienatedexcluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensualityn Or greedy for the practice of every kind of impurityfor the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. 20 But you did not learno I.e. the MessiahChrist in this way, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the oldp Lit manself, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, 23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and put on the newq Lit manself, whichr Lit according to Godin the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
25 Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another. 26 BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not give the devils Lit a placean opportunity. 28 He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share witht Lit the oneone who has need. 29 Let nou Lit rottenunwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edificationv Lit of the needaccording to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,w Lit inby whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgivenx Two early mss read usyou.
