“Since you have heard all about Jesus and have learned the truth that is in him, throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception.

Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil.”  Ephesians 4:21-27 (NLT)
