Show the text

²⁵Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
²⁶“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
²⁷and don’t give place to the devil.
²⁸Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
²⁹Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
³⁰Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
³¹Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
³²And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
