    25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

    26Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

    27Neither give place to the devil.

    28Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

    29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

    30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

    31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

    32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

    9Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

    10I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

    11Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

    12Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

    13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

    14But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

    15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

    16Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
