Ephesians 4

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

25 Therefore, putting away lying, *Zech. 8:16; Eph. 4:15; Col. 3:9"Let each one ofyou speak truth with his neighbor," for *Rom. 12:5we are members of one another. 26 *Ps. 4:4; 37:8"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 *(Rom. 12:19; James 4:7); 1 Pet. 5:9nor give place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather *Acts 20:35; 1 Cor. 4:12; Gal. 6:10let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something *Luke 3:11; 1 Thess. 4:12to give him who has need. 29 *Matt. 12:34; Eph. 5:4; Col. 3:8Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but *1 Thess. 5:11what is good for necessary edification, *Col. 3:16that it may impart grace to the hearers.
