The one who steals must steal no longer; instead he must labor, doing good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need, that it would give grace to those who hear

– Ephesians 4

From Ephesians 4, Alison shares four ways in which our new self is the flip side of the old self: the thief becomes a giver, and the gossip a speaker of grace.
