Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
Bitterness, rage, anger, clamor, slander, malice, cast them all away. Christians must be calm and serious; harsh contentions and hoarse brawls have no place among us. Every kind of evil is to be put away, and only what is good is to remain.

Paul speaks with apostolic weight: you must not live as the heathen do, whose minds chase vanities and whose hearts are darkened and estranged from God's life. You were snatched as brands from the burning; do not return to that smoke.
