EPHESIANS 4:25-5:2
So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us
speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are
members of one another. Be angry but do
not sin; do not let the sun go down on your
anger, and do not make room for the
devil. Thieves must give up stealing; rather
let them labor and work honestly with their
own hands, so as to have something to
share with the needy. Let no evil talk come
out of your mouths, but only what is useful
for building up, as there is need, so that your
words may give grace to those who
hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of
God, with which you were marked with a
seal for the day of redemption. Put away
from you all bitterness and wrath and anger
and wrangling and slander, together with all
malice, and be kind to one another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as
God in Christ has forgiven you.
Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved
children, and live in love, as Christ loved us
and gave himself up for us, a fragrant
offering and sacrifice to God.
John 6:35, 41-51
Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,
and whoever believes in me will never be
thirsty. Then the Jews began to complain
about him because he said, ‘I am the bread
that came down from heaven.’ They were
saying, ‘Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother we know? How
can he now say, “I have come down from
heaven”?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Do not
complain among yourselves. No one can
come to me unless drawn by the Father who
sent me; and I will raise that person up on
the last day. It is written in the prophets,
“And they shall all be taught by God.”
Everyone who has heard and learned from
the Father comes to me. Not that anyone
has seen the Father except the one who is
from God; he has seen the Father. Very
truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal
life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors
ate the manna in the wilder-ness, and they
died. This is the bread that comes down
from heaven, so that one may eat of it and
not die. I am the living bread that came
down from heaven. Whoever eats of this
bread will live forever; and the bread that I
will give for the life of the world is my flesh.’
