Ephesians 4:27

Read in context

Ephesians 4:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.

26 “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

27 and do not give the devil a foothold.

28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.

29 Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
