Ephesians 4:27-29

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ and don’t give the Devil an opportunity. ²⁸ The thief must no longer steal. Instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share^(A) with anyone in need. ²⁹ No foul language is to come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need,^[a] so that it gives grace to those who hear.
