Goodspeed(i)
17 So what I mean and insist upon in the Lord's name is this: You must no longer live like the heathen, with their frivolity of mind and darkened understanding.
18 They are estranged from the life of God because of the ignorance that exists among them and their obstinacy of heart,
19 for they have become callous, and abandoned themselves to sensuality, greedily practicing every kind of vice.
20 That is not the way you have been taught what Christ means,
21 at least if you have really become acquainted with him and been instructed in him, and in union with him have been taught the truth as it is found in Jesus.
22 You must lay aside with your former habits your old self which is going to ruin through its deceptive passions.
23 You must adopt a new attitude of mind,
24 and put on the new self which has been created in likeness to God, with all the uprightness and holiness that belong to the truth.
25 So you must lay aside falsehood and each tell his neighbor the truth, for we are parts of one another.
26 Be angry, but do not sin. The sun must not go down upon your anger;
27 you must not give the devil a chance.
28 The man who stole must not steal any more; he must work with his hands at honest toil instead, so as to have something to share with those who are in need.
29 No bad word must ever pass your lips, but only words that are good and suited to improve the occasion, so that they will be a blessing to those who hear them.
30 You must not offend God's holy Spirit, with which you have been marked for the Day of Redemption.
31 You must give up all bitterness, rage, anger, and loud, abusive talk, and all spite.
32 You must be kind to one another, you must be tender-hearted, and forgive one another just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
5 1 So follow God's example, like his dear children,
2 and lead loving lives, just as Christ loved you and gave himself for you, as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But immorality or any form of vice or greed must not be so much as mentioned among you; that would not be becoming in God's people.
4 There must be no indecency or foolish or scurrilous talk—all that is unbecoming. There should be thanksgiving instead.
5 For you may be sure that no one who is immoral, or greedy for gain (for that is idolatry) can have any share in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
6 Whatever anyone may say in the way of worthless arguments to deceive you, these are the things that are bringing God's anger down upon the disobedient.
7 Therefore have nothing to do with them.
