Ephesians 4:17-24

Lexham English Bible LEB

17 This therefore I say and testify in the Lord, [that] you no longer walk as the Gentiles walk: in the futility of their mind,

18 being darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance [that] is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,

19 who, becoming callous, gave themselves over to licentiousness, for the pursuit of all uncleanness in greediness.

20 But you did not learn Christ in this way,

21 if indeed you have heard [about] him, and you were taught by him (just as truth is in Jesus),

22 [that] you take off, according to your former way of life, the old man, who is being destroyed according to deceitful desires,

23 be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and put on the new man (in accordance with God), who is created in righteousness and holiness from the truth.

New International Version NIV

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned

21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.

22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds;

24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
