29 Don't let any evil talk come out of your mouths. Say only what will help to build others up and meet their needs. Then what you say will help those who listen. 30 Do not make God's Holy Spirit sad. He marked you with a seal for the day when God will set you completely free. 31 Get rid of all hard feelings, anger and rage. Stop all fighting and lying. Put away every form of hatred.
