Ephesians 4:25-32 - Old Behavior, New Behavior, And Motivation
25 Since, therefore, you have cast off what is false, 'you must every one of you speak the truth to your neighbors.' For we are united to one another like the parts of a body. 26 'Be angry, yet do not sin.' Do not let the sun go down upon your anger; 27 And give no opportunity to the Devil. 28 Let the man who steals steal no longer, but rather let him toil with his hands at honest work, so that he may have something to share with any one in want. 29 Never let any foul word pass your lips, but only such good words as the occasion demands, that they may be a help to those who hear them. 30 And do not grieve God's Holy Spirit; for it was through that Spirit that God sealed you as his, against the Day of Redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, passion, anger, brawling, and abusive language be banished from among you, as well as all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, ready to forgive one another, just as God, in Christ, forgave you.
