Ephesians 4:27-32
New American Standard Bible
27 and do not (A)give the devil [a]an opportunity. 28 The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather (B)he must labor, (C)producing with his own hands what is good, (D)so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. 29 Let no [b](E)unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for (F)edification [c]according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30 (G)Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, [d]by whom you were (H)sealed for the day of redemption. 31 (I)All bitterness, wrath, anger, [e]clamor, and slander must be (J)removed from you, along with all (K)malice. 32 (L)Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, (M)just as God in Christ also has forgiven [f]you.
