Ephesians 4:29-5:2

New International Version

²⁹ Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,^(A) but only what is helpful for building others up^(B) according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,^(C) with whom you were sealed^(D) for the day of redemption.^{(E) 31} Get rid of^(F) all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.^{(G) 32} Be kind and compassionate to one another,^(H) forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.^(I) 5 ¹ Follow God’s example,^(J) therefore, as dearly loved children^{(K) 2} and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us^(L) and gave himself up for us^(M) as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.^(N)
