Quit off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.

Ephesians 4, verse 25.

Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread.

Ephesians chapter 4, verse 17 17 and also verses 22 through 32.

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles

do in the futility of their thinking.

And now picking up at verse 22, you were taught, with regard to your former way of

life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new

in the attitude of your minds, and to put on the new self created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Therefore, each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor,

for we are all members of one body.

In your anger, do not sin.

Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.

Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful

with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building

others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the

Holy Spirit of God, with whom you are sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness,

rage and anger, brawling, and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind

and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
