Ephesians 4:29-31

Expanded Bible

²⁹ Don’t ·say anything that will hurt others [^Llet any rotten/unhealthy word come from your mouth], but only say what is ·helpful [good] to ·make others stronger [build others up] ·and meet [^Laccording to] their needs. Then what you say will ·do good [give grace; be a gift] to those who listen to you. ³⁰ And do not ·make the Holy Spirit sad [grieve/bring sorrow to the Holy Spirit]. ·The Spirit is God’s proof that you belong to him and he will make you free when the final day comes […by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption]. ³¹ Do not be bitter or angry or ·mad [raging]. Never shout angrily or ·say things to hurt [slander; insult] others. ·Never do anything [Get rid of all kinds of] evil.
