The Torah emphasizes avoiding destructive emotions and harmful speech, which aligns with Ephesians 4:31 “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, and malice be put away from you.” Here are some strong parallels: Exodus 23:1 “Do not spread false reports. Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness.” This warns against evil speaking and slander. Leviticus 19:17-18 “Do not hate your brother in your heart… Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge, but love your neighbor as yourself.” This teaches forgiveness and rejecting bitterness. Deuteronomy 27:24-25 Curses are pronounced on those who lead others astray or act deceitfully, reinforcing the need to reject malice. Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” This reflects the importance of peaceful communication. These passages demonstrate how the Torah promotes peace, honesty, and emotional self-control, much like Paul’s teaching in Ephesians. This is how Paul and the NT text taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
