Ephesians 4:28

26 ^a“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

27 ^anor give¹ place to the devil.

28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather ^alet him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something ^bto give him who has need.

29 ^aLet no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but ^bwhat is good for necessary edification, ^cthat it may impart grace to the hearers.

30 And ^ado not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

31 ^aLet all bitterness, wrath, anger,¹ clamor, and ^bevil speaking be put away from you, ^cwith all malice.

32 And ^abe kind to one another, tenderhearted, ^bforgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

<< Ephesians 4:27

Ephesians 4:29 >>

Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole. All sorts of sinners had been converted among the Gentiles, even thieves. In this exhortation, "To put off the old man and his deeds" (Ephesians 4:22), this class is embraced also by name. Let him labour. Honest labor is the best antidote to a dishonest life. Every man is to labor in order that he may not only supply his needs, but have that which he can give.
