Specific Commands for the New Life

Ephesians 4:25-32

Therefore, stripping off falsehood, let everyone speak truth with his neighbor, because we are intimately related to each other as parts of a body.

Be angry, but don’t sin — don’t let the sun go down before you have dealt with the cause of your anger;

otherwise you leave room for the Adversary.

The thief must stop stealing; instead, he should make an honest living by his own efforts. This way he will be able to share with those in need.

Let no harmful language come from your mouth, only good words that are helpful in meeting the need, words that will benefit those who hear them.

Don’t cause grief to God’s Ruach HaKodesh, for he has stamped you as his property until the day of final redemption.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, violent assertiveness and slander, along with all spitefulness.

Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted; and forgive each other, just as in the Messiah God has also forgiven you.
