24
and to put on1 the new self,2 created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.3
25
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully4 to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.5
26
"In your anger do not sin"a:6 Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
27
and do not give the devil a foothold.7
28
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work,8 doing something useful with his own hands,9 that he may have something to share with those in need.10
29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,11 but only what is helpful for building others up12 according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
30
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,13 with whom you were sealed14 for the day of redemption.15
31
Get rid of16 all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.17
32
Be kind and compassionate to one another,18 forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.19
