Spiritual Gifts

7 But ato each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.  
8 Therefore He says:
a“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”  
9 a(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also1 first descended into the lower parts of the earth?  
10 He who descended is also the One awho ascended far above all the heavens, bthat He might fill all things.)  
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, afor the edifying of bthe body of Christ,  
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith aand of the knowledge of the Son of God, to ba perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;  
14 that we should no longer be achildren, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of bdeceitful plotting,  
15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the ahead—Christ—  
16 afrom whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.  

The New Man

17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should ano longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,  
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the ablindness of their heart;  
19 awho, being past feeling, bhave given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.  
20 But you have not so learned Christ,
21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 that you aput off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,  
23 and abe renewed in the spirit of your mind,  
24 and that you aput on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.  

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

25 Therefore, putting away lying, a“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for bwe are members of one another.  
26 a“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
