Ephesians 4 — Context

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

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;

And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

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

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

Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

And do not give way to the Evil One.
