forbearing one another in love;

endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.



Congregation: That ye put off

concerning the former conversation

the old man, which is corrupt

according to the deceitful lusts; and

be renewed in the spirit of yourmind; and that ye put on the new

man, which after God is created in

righteousness and true holiness.



Pastor: Wherefore putting away

lying, speak every man truthwith his neighbor: for we are

members one of another. Be ye

angry, and sin not: let not the

sun go down upon your wrath:

Neither give place to the devil.



Congregation: Let no corrupt

communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good

to the use of edifying, that it may

minister grace unto the hearers.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of

God, whereby ye are sealed untothe day of redemption.

wrath, and anger, and clamour, andevil speaking, be put away from

you, with all malice: And be ye kind

one to another, tenderhearted,

forgiving one another, even as God

for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.



Congregation: And walk in love,

as Christ also hath loved us, andhath given himself for us an

offering and a sacrifice to God for

a sweetsmelling savour. But

fornication, and all uncleanness,

or covetousness……..cont.



…let it not be once named

among you, as becomethsaints; neither filthiness, nor

foolish talking, nor jesting,

which are not convenient: but

rather giving of thanks.

whoremonger, nor unclean

person, nor covetous man, who is

an idolater, hath any inheritance

in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Submitting yourselves one to

another in the fear of God.

unto your own husbands, as untothe Lord. Husbands, love your
