23 You must be made new in your hearts and in your thinking.
24 Be that new person who was made to be like God, truly good and pleasing to him.
25 So you must stop telling lies. “You must always speak the truth to each other,” because we all belong to each other in the same body.
26 “When you are angry, don’t let that anger make you sin,” and don’t stay angry all day.
27 Don’t give the devil a way to defeat you.
28 Whoever has been stealing must stop it and start working. They must use their hands for doing something good. Then they will have something to share with those who are poor.
29 When you talk, don’t say anything bad. But say the good things that people need—whatever will help them grow stronger. Then what you say will be a blessing to those who hear you.
