所以你们要弃绝谎言、各人与邻舍说实话．因为我们是互相为肢体。 生气却不要犯罪．不可含怒到日落． 也不可给魔鬼留地步。 从前偷窃的、不要再偷．总要劳力、亲手作正经事、就可有余、分给那缺少的人。 污秽的言语、一句不可出口、只要随事说造就人的好话、叫听见的人得益处。 不要叫 神的圣灵担忧．你们原是受了他的印记、等候得赎的日子来到。 一切苦毒、恼恨、忿怒、嚷闹、毁谤、并一切的恶毒、都当从你们中间除掉． 并要以恩慈相待、存怜悯的心、彼此饶恕、正如 神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。
English
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. 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.

以弗所书 4 对群体生活的劝勉包括诚实、处理怒气、言语造就与彼此饶恕。把这些带到家庭中，需要具体地思考说话和行动如何影响身边的人。 有人希望聚餐热闹，有人只想安静，我们很容易误会彼此。诚实表达需要，比要求所有人用相同方式相爱更具体。可以让不同节奏有协商的空间。 今天的一小步：先问每个人希望怎样参与，再商量一项折中安排。 感受值得被承认，但感受不是全部事实。试着区分已经发生的事、自己的解释和还不知道的部分。
English
Ephesians 4 addresses honesty, anger, constructive speech, and forgiveness in shared life. Family application considers the concrete effects of words and actions on those nearby. Some want a lively family meal and others quiet, making misunderstanding easy. Honest needs are more concrete than requiring identical expressions of love. Different rhythms can be negotiated. A small step today: Ask how each person would like to participate and agree on one workable arrangement. Feelings deserve acknowledgment, but they are not the whole story. Distinguish what happened, your interpretation, and what remains unknown.

Father, Some want a lively family meal and others quiet, making misunderstanding easy. Give me courage to face my feelings and patience to separate facts from assumptions. In Jesus' name, amen.
