Ephesians 4:17-24

The New Life

17 Now this I say and ^atestify in the Lord, ^bthat you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, ^cin the futility of their minds. 18 They ^dare darkened in their understanding, ^ealienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to ^ftheir hardness of heart. 19 They ^ghave become callous and ^hhave given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you ⁱlearned Christ!— 21 assuming that ^jyou have heard about him and ^kwere taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to ^lput off ^myour old self, ^{▼▼Greek man; also verse 24} which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through ^odeceitful desires, 23 and ^pto be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on ^qthe new self, ^rcreated after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
