Ephesians 4:17-24

17Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thoughts.

18They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.

19They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more.

20But that is not how you came to know Christ,

21assuming you heard about him and were taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus,

22to take off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires,

23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

24and to put on the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.
