Ephesians 4:27-32

New International Version

²⁷ and do not give the devil a foothold.^{(A) 28} Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work,^(B) doing something useful with their own hands,^(C) that they may have something to share with those in need.^(D)

²⁹ Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,^(E) but only what is helpful for building others up^(F) according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,^(G) with whom you were sealed^(H) for the day of redemption.^{(I) 31} Get rid of^(J) all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.^{(K) 32} Be kind and compassionate to one another,^(L) forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.^(M)
