Ephesians 4:24
22 to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
26 “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
