Ephesians 4:22-5:2

English Standard Version

²²to ^(A)put off ^(B)your old self,^[a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through ^(C)deceitful desires, ²³and ^(D)to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴and to put on ^(E)the new self, ^(F)created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

²⁵Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you ^(G)speak the truth with his neighbor, for ^(H)we are members one of another. ²⁶^(I)Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ²⁷and ^(J)give no opportunity to the devil. ²⁸Let the thief no longer steal, but rather ^(K)let him labor, ^(L)doing honest work with his own hands, so ^(M)that he may have something to share with anyone in need. ²⁹^(N)Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give ^(O)grace to those who hear. ³⁰And ^(P)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, ^(Q)by whom you were sealed for the day of ^(R)redemption. ³¹^(S)Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. ³²^(T)Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, ^(U)forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Walk in Love

5 ^(V)Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. ²And ^(W)walk in love, ^(X)as Christ loved us and ^(Y)gave himself up for us, a ^(Z)fragrant ^(AA)offering and sacrifice to God.
