Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:28-29
Bullying steals a person's dignity and worth by demeaning her and putting her down. Bullying occurs not only through physical threats and actions but also through harsh words and taunts--both spoken and written.
Looked at in this light, Ephesians 4:28-29 is a clear command for us not to be mean girls (bullies) in any way but, instead, for us to use our words and actions for good--even when it means speaking against bullying at your school or work.
