ወደ ኤፌሶን ሰዎች 4:25–32 (አማ54)
ስለዚህ ውሸትን አስወግዳችሁ፥ እርስ በርሳችን ብልቶች ሆነናልና እያንዳንዳችሁ ከባልንጀሮቻችሁ ጋር እውነትን ተነጋገሩ። ተቆጡ ኃጢአትንም አታድርጉ፤ በቁጣችሁ ላይ ፀሐይ አይግባ፥ ለዲያብሎስም ፈንታ አትስጡት። የሰረቀ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ አይስረቅ፥ ነገር ግን በዚያ ፈንታ ለጎደለው የሚያካፍለው እንዲኖርለት በገዛ እጆቹ መልካምን እየሠራ ይድከም። ለሚሰሙት ጸጋን ይሰጥ ዘንድ እንደሚያስፈልግ ለማነጽ የሚጠቅም ማናቸውም በጎ ቃል እንጂ ክፉ ቃል ከአፋችሁ ከቶ አይውጣ። ለቤዛም ቀን የታተማችሁበትን ቅዱሱን የእግዚአብሔርን መንፈስ አታሳዝኑ። መራርነትና ንዴት ቁጣም ጩኸትም መሳደብም ሁሉ ከክፋት ሁሉ ጋር ከእናንተ ዘንድ ይወገድ። እርስ በርሳችሁም ቸሮችና ርኅሩኆች ሁኑ፥ እግዚአብሔርም ደግሞ በክርስቶስ ይቅር እንዳላችሁ ይቅር ተባባሉ።
Ephesians 4:25–32 (ESV)
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. 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. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
