Ephesians 4:22-32
English Standard Version
22 to (A)put off (B)your old self,[a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through (C)deceitful desires, 23 and (D)to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on (E)the new self, (F)created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you (G)speak the truth with his neighbor, for (H)we are members one of another. 26 (I)Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and (J)give no opportunity to the devil. 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather (K)let him labor, (L)doing honest work with his own hands, so (M)that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 (N)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 (O)grace to those who hear. 30 And (P)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, (Q)by whom you were sealed for the day of (R)redemption. 31 (S)Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 (T)Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, (U)forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

2 Corinthians 5:14-21
English Standard Version
14 For the love of Christ (A)controls us, because we have concluded this: that (B)one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, (C)that those who live might no longer live for themselves but (D)for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16 From now on, therefore, (E)we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is (F)in Christ, he is (G)a new creation.[a] (H)The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, (I)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us (J)the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling[b] the world to himself, (K)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us (L)the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, (M)we are ambassadors for Christ, (N)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 (O)For our sake he made him to be sin (P)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become (Q)the righteousness of God.

13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, (A)how much evil he has done to (B)your (C)saints at Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from (D)the chief priests to bind all who (E)call on your name.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for (F)he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name (G)before the Gentiles and (H)kings and the children of Israel. 16 For (I)I will show him how much (J)he must suffer (K)for the sake of my name.” 17 So (L)Ananias departed and entered the house. And (M)laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and (N)be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and (O)he regained his sight. Then (P)he rose and was baptized; 19 and (Q)taking food, he was strengthened.

Philemon 9-16
English Standard Version
9 yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now (A)a prisoner also for Christ Jesus— 10 I appeal to you for (B)my child, (C)Onesimus,[a] (D)whose father I became in my imprisonment. 11 (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.) 12 I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart. 13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me (E)on your behalf (F)during my imprisonment for the gospel, 14 but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be (G)by compulsion but of your own accord. 15 For this perhaps is why (H)he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, 16 (I)no longer as a bondservant[b] but more than a bondservant, as (J)a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, (K)both in the flesh and in the Lord.
