Ephesians 4: 17 - 24
|
| 17
|
Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds;
|
| 18
|
they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart;
|
| 19
|
they have become callous and have given themselves up to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.
|
| 20
|
You did not so learn Christ! --
|
| 21
|
assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.
|
| 22
|
Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts,
|
| 23
|
and be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
|
| 24
|
and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
