Putting Away

For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

• Corrupt
• Character

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

• Wisdom

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

• Deceit

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

• Tender
• Heart
• FIGURATIVE

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: 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. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. read more 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 unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil 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. show less

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
