Ephesians 4:28-30
Holman Christian Standard Bible
28 The thief must no longer steal. Instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share(A) with anyone in need. 29 No foul language is to come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need,[a] so that it gives grace to those who hear. 30 And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit.(B) You were sealed by Him[b] for the day of redemption.(C)
