Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Ephesians 4:28β-β¬2
Paul was very clear how a Christian should live a life.
π He commands the believers to work hard and not be lazy and expect others to help them. Instead compulsorily help the weak and the needy, Lord Jesus himself said: “it is more blessed to give than to receive.”
π Avoid foolish talks, coarse joking, control your tongue. Jesus said men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. By good words what we speak will be spared and by our bad words you will be punished. Hence, speak encouraging words and edifying words so that such words will build others up. Have a blessed day. βΊππΌ
