A Life Pleasing to God

Finally, then, brothers,[a] we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you (A)received from us (B)how you ought to walk and (C)to please God, just as you are doing, that you (D)do so more and more. For (E)you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

20 But that is not the way you (A)learned Christ!— 21 assuming that (B)you have heard about him and (C)were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to (D)put off (E)your old self,[a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through (F)deceitful desires, 23 and (G)to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on (H)the new self, (I)created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you (J)speak the truth with his neighbor, for (K)we are members one of another. 26 (L)Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and (M)give no opportunity to the devil. 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather (N)let him labor, (O)doing honest work with his own hands, so (P)that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 (Q)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 (R)grace to those who hear. 30 And (S)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, (T)by whom you were sealed for the day of (U)redemption. 31 (V)Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 (W)Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, (X)forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith (A)with virtue,[a] and virtue (B)with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control (C)with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness (D)with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection (E)with love. For if these qualities[b] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or (F)unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he (G)is blind, having forgotten that he was (H)cleansed from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers,[c] be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and (I)election, for if you practice these qualities (J)you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided for you (K)an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Teach Sound Doctrine

But as for you, teach what accords with (A)sound[a] doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, (B)sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. (C)Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, (D)not slanderers (E)or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, (F)pure, (G)working at home, kind, and (H)submissive to their own husbands, (I)that the word of God may not be reviled. Likewise, urge (J)the younger men to be self-controlled. Show yourself in all respects to be (K)a model of good works, and in your teaching (L)show integrity, (M)dignity, and (N)sound speech that cannot be condemned, (O)so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. (P)Bondservants[b] are to be submissive to their own masters (Q)in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10 not pilfering, (R)but showing all good faith, (S)so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
