Ephesians 4:15-25

15InsteadG1161, speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, we will inG3588 all thingsG3956 grow upG837 intoG1519 ChristG5547 HimselfG846, whoG3739 isG1510 theG3588 headG2776. 16FromG1537 Him theG3588 wholeG3956 bodyG4983, fittedG4883 andG2532 held togetherG4822 byG1223 everyG3956 supportingG3588G2024 ligamentG860, growsG838 and builds itself upG3619G1438 inG1722 loveG26 throughG2596 the workG1753 of eachG1722G3358G1538 individualG1520 partG3313.

17SoG3767 I tellG3004 you thisG3778, andG2532 insistG3143 on it inG1722 the LordG2962, that you mustG4771 no longerG3371 walkG4043 asG2531 theG3588 GentilesG1484 doG4043, inG1722 the futilityG3153 ofG3588 theirG846 thinkingG3563. 18They are darkenedG4656 inG3588 their understandingG1271 and alienated fromG526 theG3588 lifeG2222 of GodG2316 because ofG1223 theG3588 ignoranceG52 that isG1510 inG1722 themG846 due toG1223 theG3588 hardnessG4457 ofG3588 theirG846 heartsG2588. 19Having lost all sense of shameG524, they have given themselves overG3860G1438 toG3588 sensualityG766 forG1519 the practiceG2039 of every kindG3956 of impurityG167, withG1722 a craving for moreG4124.

20ButG1161 this is not the wayG3779G3756 youG4771 came to knowG3129 ChristG5547. 21SurelyG1487G1065 you heard ofG191 HimG846 andG2532 were taughtG1321 inG1722 HimG846—in keeping withG2531 the truthG225 that isG1510 inG1722 JesusG2424— 22to put offG659 yourG4771 formerG4386 way of lifeG391, your oldG3820 selfG444, whichG3588 is being corruptedG5351 byG2596 its deceitfulG539 desiresG1939; 23to be renewedG365 in theG3588 spiritG4151 ofG3588 yourG4771 mindsG3563; 24andG2532 to put onG1746 theG3588 newG2537 selfG444, createdG2936 to be likeG2596 GodG2316 inG1722 trueG225 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 holinessG3742.

25ThereforeG1352 eachG1538 of you must put offG659 falsehoodG5579 and speakG2980 truthfullyG225 toG3326 hisG846 neighborG4139, forG3754 we are allG1510 membersG3196 of one anotherG240.
