Ephesians 4:17-24

17So I tell you and encourage you in the Lord’s name not to live any longer like other people in the world. Their minds are set on worthless things.

18They can’t understand because they are in the dark. They are excluded from the life that God approves of because of their ignorance and stubbornness.

19Since they no longer have any sense of shame, they have become promiscuous. They practice every kind of sexual perversion with a constant desire for more.

20But that is not what you learned from Christ’s teachings.

21You have certainly heard his message and have been taught his ways. The truth is in Jesus.

22You were taught to change the way you were living. The person you used to be will ruin you through desires that deceive you.

23However, you were taught to have a new attitude.

24You were also taught to become a new person created to be like God, with a life that truly has God’s approval and is holy.
