Ephesians 4:25-27
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Live Out Righteousness And Truth
25 Therefore, having laid-aside the lie[a], each of you be speaking truth with his neighbor, because we are body-parts of one another. 26 Be angry and-yet do not be sinning. Do not let the sun go down upon your angriness[b], 27 nor give a place[c] to the devil.
