Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Get rid of all that toxic stuff, the bitterness, the rage, the anger, the yelling, and the trash talk. Drop all the hatred and spite too.
Time to clean house and let go of all the negativity that's been weighing you down.
