Summary: Avoid behaviors that upset the Holy Spirit. Instead, be kind, compassionate, and forgiving, just as God forgave us. Lead lives of love, following Christ's example.
Brothers and sisters:
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of redemption. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice.
And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
So be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma.
