Ephesians 4:25-5:2 – Walking in Love with Jesus and People





25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you
speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of
another.


26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your
anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil.


28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing
honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to
share with anyone in need.


29 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 grace to those who hear.


30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were
sealed for the day of redemption.


31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander
be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one
another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ
forgave you.


5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.


2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for
us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
