Ephesians 4:29-5:2
New American Standard Bible
29 Let no [a](A)unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for (B)edification [b]according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30 (C)Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, [c]by whom you were (D)sealed for the day of redemption. 31 (E)All bitterness, wrath, anger, [d]clamor, and slander must be (F)removed from you, along with all (G)malice. 32 (H)Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, (I)just as God in Christ also has forgiven [e]you.
Be Imitators of God
5 (J)Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and (K)walk in love, just as Christ also (L)loved [f]you and (M)gave Himself up for us, an (N)offering and a sacrifice to God [g]as a (O)fragrant aroma.
