From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But ye have not so learned Christ;

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

26 ᎢᏥᏔᎳᏬᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏥᏍᎦᏅᎨᏍᏗ; ᏞᏍᏗ ᏅᏙ ᏭᏕᎵᏨᎩ ᎨᏥᏔᎳᏬᏍᎩ;

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

Neither give place to the devil.

Let 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.

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

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