Ephesians 4
The Christian's Walk
Verse 17
- So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you
walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
Verse 18
- being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God
because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;
Verse 19
- and they, having become callous, have given themselves
over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.
Verse 20
- But you did not learn Christ in this way,
Verse 21
- if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him,
just as truth is in Jesus,
Verse 22
- that, in reference to your former manner of life, you
lay aside the old self
,
which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,
Verse 23
- and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Verse 24
- and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God
has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
