171SoG3767 thisG3778 I sayG3004, and affirmG3143 togetherG1722 with the LordG2962, 2that you walkG4043 noG3371 longerG3371 justG2531 as the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 walkG4043, in the 3futilityG3153 of their mindG3563, 18beingG1510 4darkenedG4656 in their understandingG1271, 56excludedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 becauseG1223 of the 7ignoranceG52 that is in them, becauseG1223 of the 8hardnessG4457 of their heartG2588; 19and they, having 9becomeG524 callousG524, 10have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 to 11sensualityG766 12for the practiceG2039 of everyG3956 kindG3956 of impurityG167 with greedinessG4124. 20But you did not 13learnG3129 14ChristG5547 in thisG3779 wayG3779, 21ifG1487 indeedG1065 you 15have heardG191 Him and have 16been taughtG1321 in Him, justG2531 as truthG225 is in JesusG2424, 22that, in referenceG2596 to your formerG4387 mannerG391 of lifeG391, you 17layG659 asideG659 the 18oldG3820 19selfG444, which is being corruptedG5351 in accordanceG2596 with the 20lustsG1939 of deceitG539, 23and that you be 21renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of your mindG3563, 24and 22putG1746 on the 23newG2537 24selfG444, which 2526in the likeness of GodG2316 has been createdG2936 in righteousnessG1343 and holinessG3742 of the truthG225.
