former conversation the old man,
which is corrupt according to the deceitful passions; (23)but be
renewed in the spirit of your minds; (24)and put on the new man, which
is created godlike, in righteousness and true holiness.

(25)Wherefore putting away lying, speak truth, every one with his
neighbour: for we are members one of another.

(26)Are ye provoked; and do you not sin? let not the sun go down upon
your wrath: (27)nor give place to the devil.

(28)Let him that stole steal no more; but rather labour hard, working
with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give
to him that is in want.

(29)Let no loose discourse proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is
good for useful edification, that it may communicate grace to the
hearers. (30)And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye have
been sealed unto the day of redemption. (31)Let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamour, and scandal, be removed from you, with
all malice: (32)but be ye kind one to another, full of sensibility,
forgiving mutually, even as God in Christ hath forgiven you.
