Ephesians 4:17-32

MNT(i) 17 This then I tell you and implore you in the Master's name, to pass your lives no longer as the Gentiles do in the perverseness of their minds; 18 having their understanding darkened, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts. 19 These being past feeling have given themselves over to sensuality, in order to practise every form of impurity with greedy zest. 20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have listened to him, and in him been taught the truth as it is in Jesus. 22 You have learned to lay aside, with your former manner of living, the old self who was on his way to ruin, as he followed the desires which deceive; 23 and to be made new in the spirit of your mind, 24 and to put on the new self, created after God's likeness, in the uprightness and holiness of the truth. 25 So then put away falseness and speak every man the truth to his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 26 "Be angry and sin not"; let not the sun go down upon your anger. 27 Give the devil no place. 28 Let him who stole steal no more, but let him work, and in honest industry toil with his hands, so that he may have something to give to the needy. 29 From your lips let no evil words come forth, but such as occasion warrants, such as are good for upbuilding and give a blessing to the hearers. 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Banish from among you all bitterness and passion and anger and clamor and slander, as well as all malice; 32 and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.
