the new life.

"But that is not how you learned Christ!- assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give NO opportunity to the devil."

~ Ephesians 4:20-27 [ESV]

"Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear."

~ Ephesians 4:28-29 [ESV]

"Don't grieve God. Don't break his heart, His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for himself. Don't take such a gift for granted. Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk."

~ Ephesians 4:30-31 [The Message]

I love this last verse...

"Be kind to one another, TENDERhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

~ Ephesians 4:32 [ESV]
