Ephesians 4:25-32
Christian Standard Bible
25 Therefore, putting away(A) lying, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor,[a](B) because we are members of one another. 26 Be angry and do not sin.[b](C) Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and don’t give the devil an opportunity. 28 Let the thief no longer steal. Instead, he is to do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share(D) with anyone in need. 29 No foul language should come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need,[c] so that it gives grace to those who hear. 30 And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit.(E) You were sealed by him[d] for the day of redemption.(F) 31 Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice. 32 And be kind(G) and compassionate(H) to one another, forgiving(I) one another, just as God also forgave you[e] in Christ.

Ephesians 4:25-32
International Standard Version
25 Therefore, stripping off falsehood, “let each of us speak the truth to his neighbor,”[a] for we belong to one another. 26 “Be angry, yet do not sin.”[b] Do not let the sun set while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the Devil an opportunity to work.[c] 28 The thief must no longer steal but must work hard and do what is good with his own hands, so that he might earn something to give to the needy.
29 Let no filthy talk be heard from your mouths, but only what is good for building up people and meeting the need of the moment.[d] This way you will administer grace to those who hear you. 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, quarreling, and slander be put away from you, along with all hatred. 32 And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another just as God has forgiven you[e] in the Messiah.[f]
