Do nothing to grieve the Holy Spirit

Strip yourselves of your former nature, your old unrenewed self, and be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind, God-like in true righteousness and holiness.  When angry, do not sin, leave no such room or foothold for the devil; let the thief steal no more from you.  Let no foul or polluting language nor evil work nor unwholesome or worthless talk ever come out of your mouth.  Let all bitterness, indignation, wrath, rage, bad temper, resentment, slander, quarreling, contention, and the like, be banished from you.  Do nothing to grieve the Holy Spirit.  Instead, become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tender-hearted, compassion, understating, loving, and forgiving one another as God in Christ has forgiven you.
Adapted from Ephesians 4:22-32 AMPC


Live a life that honors God, and, in turn, you will have a life that is honored by God.
