^15 (A)Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, ^16 (B)making the best use of the time, because ^(C)the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what ^(D)the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And ^(E)do not get drunk with wine, for that is ^(F)debauchery, but ^(G)be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹ addressing one another in ^(H)psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, ^20 (I)giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father ^(J)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^21 (K)submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

²⁵ Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you ^(A)speak the truth with his neighbor, for ^(B)we are members one of another. ^26 (C)Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ²⁷ and ^(D)give no opportunity to the devil. ²⁸ Let the thief no longer steal, but rather ^(E)let him labor, ^(F)doing honest work with his own hands, so ^(G)that he may have something to share with anyone in need. ^29 (H)Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give ^(I)grace to those who hear. ³⁰ And ^(J)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, ^(K)by whom you were sealed for the day of ^(L)redemption. ^31 (M)Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. ^32 (N)Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, ^(O)forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
