Rules for the New Life
25 So then, putting away falsehood, let each of you speak the truth with your neighbor, for we are members of one another.(C) 26 Be angry but do not sin;[a] do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not make room for the devil. 28 Those who steal must give up stealing; rather, let them labor, doing good work with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. 29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouths but only what is good for building up,[b] as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.(D) 31 Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice.(E) 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.[c](F)

29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,(O) but only what is helpful for building others up(P) according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,(Q) with whom you were sealed(R) for the day of redemption.(S) 31 Get rid of(T) all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.(U) 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,(V) forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.(W)

14 For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.(A) 15 And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for the one who for their sake died and was raised.
16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view;[a] even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view,[b] we no longer know him in that way.(B) 17 So if anyone is in Christ, there[c] is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being![d](C) 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;(D) 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,[e] not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.(E) 20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God.(F) 21 For our sake God made the one who knew no sin to be sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(G)

He laid his hands on Saul[a] and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(D) 18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored.
