-Mary Engelbreit
Ephesians 4:22-32
"...22in reference to your former manner of life,
you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted
in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be
renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self,
which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness
and holiness of the truth.
Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you
with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your
anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity.
He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor,
performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have
something to share with one who has need.
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only
such a word as is good for edification according to the need of
the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed
for the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be
put away from you, along with all malice.
32Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other,
just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."
