²⁵Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
²⁶Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
²⁷Neither give place to the devil.
²⁸Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
²⁹Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
³⁰And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
³²And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

5Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
²And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
³But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
⁴Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
⁵For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁸For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
⁹(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
¹⁰Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
¹¹And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
¹²For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
¹³But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
¹⁴Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
¹⁵See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
¹⁶Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
¹⁷Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
¹⁸And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
¹⁹Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
²⁰Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
²¹Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
