Ephesians 4:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 [a]Be [b]angry, but sin not: let not the sun go down [c]upon your wrath,
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 [d]Let him that stole, steal no more: but let him rather labor, and work with his hands the thing which is [e]good, that he may have to give unto him that needeth.

- Ephesians 4:26 He teacheth us to bridle our anger in such sort, that although it be not, yet that it break not out, and that it be straightway quenched before we sleep, lest Satan taking occasion to give us evil counsel through the wicked counselor, destroy us.
- Ephesians 4:26 If it so fall out, that you be angry, yet sin not: that is, bridle your anger, and do not wickedly put that in execution, which you have wickedly conceived.
- Ephesians 4:26 Let not the night come upon you in your anger, that is, make atonement quickly for all matters.
- Ephesians 4:28 He descendeth from the heart to the hands condemning theft: and because that men which give themselves to this wickedness use to pretend poverty, he showeth that labor is a good remedy against poverty, which God blesseth in such sort that they which labor have always some overplus to help others so far is it from this, that they are constrained to steal other men’s goods.
- Ephesians 4:28 By laboring in things that are holy, and profitable to his neighbor.
