Kehilah In Ephesus 4:19-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

19. Who, having put away remorse, gave themselves over to zimah (lewdness) for the practice of every kind of tumah (uncleanness) with chamdanut (covetousness).

20. But you did not so have lernen of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,

21. If indeed you heard about Him and took shiurim in Him, as HaEmes is in Yehoshua.

22. For the torah you received was that you must disrobe from your former derech of your old self, the one being corrupted according to the ta'avot of AKOV [deceitful, YIRMEYAH 17:9] remiyah (guile)

23. And to be renewed by the Ruach Hakodesh controlling your machshavot (thoughts)

24. And to enrobe yourself in the Adam HeChadash (the new Man, humanity) having been created according to the demut Hashem in tzidkat Eloheinu and in the kedushah of HaEmes.

25. Therefore, disrobed from Sheker (Falsehood, Lying], let us speak HaEmes [ZECHARYAH 8:16], each one with his re'a (neighbor), because we are evarim (members) one of another. [Ps 15:2; Lev 19:11]

26. Have ka'as and do not sin; do not let the shemesh go down on your anger. [TEHILLIM 4:4]

27. Do not give opportunity to Hasatan.

28. Let the one stealing no longer be a ganav, but rather let the ganav get a parnasah (livelihood) and toil with his own hands at something beneficial, that he may have something to share with the one who is nitzrach (needy).

29. Let no lashon hora proceed out of your peh, but only a dvar that is tov, for edification in accordance with the need, that it may mediate Chen v'Chesed Hashem to the ones hearing.

30. And do not grieve the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem, by whom you were sealed for the Yom HaGeulah. [YESHAYAH 63:10]

31. Let all merirut lev (bitterness) and ka'as and wrath and clamor and lashon hora be removed from you, with all resha.
