Ephesians 4:25-5:5

New King James Version

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

²⁵ Therefore, putting away lying, ^(A)“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for ^(B)we are members of one another. ^26 (C)“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, ^27 (D)nor give ^[a]place to the devil. ²⁸ Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather ^(E)let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something ^(F)to give him who has need. ^29 (G)Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but ^(H)what is good for necessary ^[b]edification, ^(I)that it may impart grace to the hearers. ³⁰ And ^(J)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ^31 (K)Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, ^[c]clamor, and ^(L)evil speaking be put away from you, ^(M)with all malice. ³² And ^(N)be kind to one another, tenderhearted, ^(O)forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Walk in Love

5 Therefore^(P) be imitators of God as dear ^(Q)children. ² And ^(R)walk in love, ^(S)as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God ^(T)for a sweet-smelling aroma.

³ But fornication and all ^(U)uncleanness or ^(V)covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; ^4 (W)neither filthiness, nor ^(X)foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, ^(Y)which are not fitting, but rather ^(Z)giving of thanks. ⁵ For ^[d]this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any ^(AA)inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
