Efeso 4:17-32
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Kinabuhi nga Gibag-o ni Cristo
17 Busa sa ngalan sa Ginoo,[a] gipahimangnoan ko kamo nga dili gayod kamo magkinabuhi nga sama sa mga wala makaila sa Dios. Ang ilang mga hunahuna walay pulos 18 tungod kay nangitngitan ang ilang pangisip sa pagsabot sa espirituhanon nga mga butang. Nahimulag sila sa kinabuhi nga gihatag sa Dios tungod kay ignorante man sila, kay labihan man sila kagahig ulo. 19 Wala na silay ulaw. Busa malaw-ay ang ilang binuhatan, ug nagpatuyang sila sa pagbuhat sa kahugaw.
20 Apan dili sama niana ang inyong natun-an bahin kang Cristo. 21 Dili ba nga nasayran man ninyo ang bahin kang Jesus, ug tungod kay kamo anaa kaniya, gitudloan kamo sa kamatuoran nga anaa kaniya? 22 Busa biyai na ninyo ang inyong daan nga kinaiya kay kini iya sa daan ninyo nga kinabuhi. Kining daan nga kinaiya mao ang nagalaglag kaninyo pinaagi sa daotan nga mga tinguha nga nagalimbong kaninyo. 23 Bag-oha ninyo ang inyong kasingkasing ug hunahuna. 24 Ipakita ninyo nga gibag-o na kamo sa Dios ug gihatagan sa kinabuhi nga sama kaniya, ang tinuod nga kinabuhi nga matarong ug balaan.
25 Busa ayaw na kamo pamakak. Ang tagsa-tagsa mosulti sa matuod ngadto sa iyang igsoon[b] kang Cristo, kay kitang tanan mga sakop na sa usa ka lawas. 26 Kon masuko kamo, pagbantay nga dili kamo makasala.[c] Ug ayaw ninyo palungtara ang inyong kasuko sa tibuok adlaw. 27 Ayaw ninyo hatagi ug higayon si Satanas nga motintal kaninyo sa pagpakasala. 28 Ang kawatan kinahanglan dili na mangawat, kondili manginabuhi siya sa maayo nga pamaagi, aron makahatag usab siya sa mga kabos. 29 Ayaw kamo pagsulti ug daotan, kondili ang makatabang lang sa inyong isigka-tawo ug ang motukma usab sa higayon, aron makahatag kamo ug kaayohan sa mga nakadungog. 30 Ayaw ninyo pagpasub-a ang Espiritu Santo sa Dios. Kay siya mao ang ilhanan nga kamo iya sa Dios, ug ang kasigurohan sa pagtubos kaninyo sa umaabot nga adlaw sa paghukom. 31 Isalikway ninyo ang tanan nga kaligutgot, kapungot, ug kasuko. Ayaw na kamo pamalikas, o pagsultig daotan batok sa usag usa, o pagdinumtanay. 32 Hinuon, magminaayo ug magmalumo kamo sa usag usa, ug magpinasayloay kamo sama sa pagpasaylo sa Dios kaninyo pinaagi kang Cristo.

Ephesians 4:17-32
New International Version
Instructions for Christian Living
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer(A) live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.(B) 18 They are darkened in their understanding(C) and separated from the life of God(D) because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.(E) 19 Having lost all sensitivity,(F) they have given themselves over(G) to sensuality(H) so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off(I) your old self,(J) which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;(K) 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds;(L) 24 and to put on(M) the new self,(N) created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.(O)
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully(P) to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.(Q) 26 “In your anger do not sin”[a]:(R) Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.(S) 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work,(T) doing something useful with their own hands,(U) that they may have something to share with those in need.(V)
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,(W) but only what is helpful for building others up(X) according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,(Y) with whom you were sealed(Z) for the day of redemption.(AA) 31 Get rid of(AB) all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.(AC) 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,(AD) forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.(AE)

New King James Version
The New Man
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should (A)no longer walk as [a]the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the (B)blindness of their heart; 19 (C)who, being past feeling, (D)have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you (E)put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and (F)be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you (G)put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Do Not Grieve the Spirit
25 Therefore, putting away lying, (H)“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for (I)we are members of one another. 26 (J)“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 (K)nor give [b]place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather (L)let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something (M)to give him who has need. 29 (N)Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but (O)what is good for necessary [c]edification, (P)that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And (Q)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 (R)Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, [d]clamor, and (S)evil speaking be put away from you, (T)with all malice. 32 And (U)be kind to one another, tenderhearted, (V)forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
