25 So reject lies, and tell the truth to each other—for we belong to each other. 26 Don’t sin by getting angry; don’t let evening come and find you still mad— 27 and don’t give the devil any opportunity. 28 Thieves, stop your stealing, and do honest, productive work with your hands, so you’ll have something to give to those who need it. 29 Don’t use bad language. Speak words that will encourage people as necessary, so that those who listen will be helped. 30 Don’t disappoint the Holy Spirit of God that marked you as belonging to him until the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of every kind of bitterness, rage, anger, verbal abuse, and insults, along with all forms of evil. 32 Be kind and compassionate to each other, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.
