Ephesians 4:25-5:6
New American Standard Bible

25 Therefore, (A)ridding yourselves of falsehood, (B)speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are (C)parts of one another. 26 (D)Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not (E)give the devil [a]an opportunity. 28 The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather (F)he must labor, (G)producing with his own hands what is good, (H)so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. 29 Let no [b](I)unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for (J)edification [c]according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30 (K)Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, [d]by whom you were (L)sealed for the day of redemption. 31 (M)All bitterness, wrath, anger, [e]clamor, and slander must be (N)removed from you, along with all (O)malice. 32 (P)Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, (Q)just as God in Christ also has forgiven [f]you.

Be Imitators of God

5 (R)Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and (S)walk in love, just as Christ also (T)loved [g]you and (U)gave Himself up for us, an (V)offering and a sacrifice to God [h]as a (W)fragrant aroma.

3 But (X)sexual immorality [i]or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among [j]saints; 4 and there must be no (Y)filthiness [k]or foolish talk, or vulgar joking, which (Z)are not fitting, but rather (AA)giving of thanks. 5 For this you know with certainty, that (AB)no sexually immoral or [l]impure or greedy person, which [m]amounts to an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom (AC)of Christ and God.

6 (AD)See that no one deceives you with empty words, for because of these things (AE)the wrath of God comes upon (AF)the [n]sons of disobedience.

Ephesians 4:25-5:6
New International Version

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully(A) to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.(B) 26 “In your anger do not sin”[a]:(C) Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.(D) 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work,(E) doing something useful with their own hands,(F) that they may have something to share with those in need.(G)

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

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(V) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(W) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(X) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(Y) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(Z)—has any inheritance(AA) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[b](AB) 6 Let no one deceive you(AC) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath(AD) comes on those who are disobedient.(AE)
