²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

²⁷ neither give place to the devil.

²⁸ Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.

²⁰ He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
