If we continue to read the verses following the one below, we see in the CEB version that we are to put aside all bitterness, losing our temper, anger, shouting, and slander.

We are to be KIND, COMPASSIONATE, AND FORGIVING to each other, IN THE SAME WAY GOD FORGAVE US IN CHRIST. [capitals given for emphasis]

There is a lot going on in our lives right now. We need to be aware of our words! What are we speaking to others? Are our words uplifting and full of love and grace?
