Ephesians 4:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 [a]Let him that stole, steal no more: but let him rather labor, and work with his hands the thing which is [b]good, that he may have to give unto him that needeth.
29 [c]Let no [d]corrupt communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister [e]grace unto the hearers.

- Ephesians 4:28 He descendeth from the heart to the hands condemning theft: and because that men which give themselves to this wickedness use to pretend poverty, he showeth that labor is a good remedy against poverty, which God blesseth in such sort that they which labor have always some overplus to help others so far is it from this, that they are constrained to steal other men’s goods.
- Ephesians 4:28 By laboring in things that are holy, and profitable to his neighbor.
- Ephesians 4:29 He bridleth the tongue also, teaching us so to temper our talk, that our hearer’s mind be not only not destroyed, but also instructed.
