^{20 Ref} For this was not the teaching of Christ which was given to you;

^{21 Ref} If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:

^{22 Ref} That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

^{23 Ref} And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

^{24 Ref} And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

^{25 Ref} And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

^{26 Ref} Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

^{27 Ref} And do not give way to the Evil One.

^{28 Ref} Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

^{29 Ref} Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

^{30 Ref} And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

^{31 Ref} Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

^{32 Ref} And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.
