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]
