Текст песни
Now this I say and testify in the Lord
That you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do
In the futility of their minds
They are darkened in their understanding
Alienated from the life of God
Because of the ignorance that is in them
Due to their hardness of heart
They have become callous
And have given themselves up to sensuality
Greedy to practice every kind of impurity
But that is not the way you learned Christ!
Assuming that you have heard about him
And were taught in him
As the truth is in Jesus
To put off your old self
Which belongs to your former manner of life
And is corrupt through deceitful desires
And to be renewed in the spirit of your minds
And to put on the new self
Created after the likeness of God
In true righteousness and holiness
Therefore, having put away falsehood
Let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor
For we are members one of another
Be angry and do not sin
Do not let the sun go down on your anger
And give no opportunity to the devil
Let the thief no longer steal
But rather let him labor
Doing honest work with his own hands
So that he may have something to share with anyone in need
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths
But only such as is good for building up
As fits the occasion
That it may give grace to those who hear
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God
By whom you were sealed for the day of redemption
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger
And clamor and slander be put away from you
Along with all malice
Be kind to one another
Tenderhearted, forgiving one another
As God in Christ forgave you
