Ephesians 4:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 [a]Let no [b]corrupt communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister [c]grace unto the hearers.
30 [d]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and anger, and wrath, crying, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousness.
