Ephesians 4:22-29
New King James Version
22 that you (A)put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and (B)be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you (C)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, (D)“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for (E)we are members of one another. 26 (F)“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 (G)nor give [a]place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather (H)let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something (I)to give him who has need. 29 (J)Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but (K)what is good for necessary [b]edification, (L)that it may impart grace to the hearers.
