20 But you did not so learn the Christ;
21 if you actually heard him and were taught by him, as
the truth is in Jesus;
22 to place away from yourselves the old man, according to
your former conduct, the one who is corrupted according to the lusts of deception;
23 and to be young again in the spirit of your mind,
24 and to have clothed yourselves with the new man, who was created according to God, in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
25 Hence, placing
all the lying away from yourselves, speak, each
one the truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
26 ‘Be angry and do not sin.’Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
27 nor give a chance to the devil.
28 Let the one who steals, steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working
at what is the good thing with
his hands, in order that he may have
something to give to the one who has need.
29 Do not let any rotten speech travel from your mouth. But if something is good for the building up of a need,
do this in order that it may give a favor to those who are hearing.
30 And do not make the Holy Spirit of God sorrowful, in whom you were sealed to the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness and fury and anger and outcrying and blasphemy, together with all malice, be taken away from you;
32 and become kind to one another, affectionate, forgiving
others in yourselves, just-as God also forgave us in Christ.
