Ephesians 4:17-24
171So I say this, and affirm in the Lord, 2that you are to no longer walk just as the 3Gentiles also walk, in the 4futility of their minds, 18being 5darkened in their understanding, 67excluded from the life of God because of the 8ignorance that is in them, because of the 9hardness of their heart; 19and they, having 10become callous, 11have given themselves up to 12indecent behavior 13for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. 20But you did not 14learn Christ in this way, 21if indeed you 15have heard Him and have 16been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to 17rid yourselves of the 18old 19self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the 20lusts of deceit, 23and that you are to be 21renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24and to 22put on the 23new 24self, which 2526in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
