17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,
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 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
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 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
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 But you have not so learned Christ,
20
That, however, is not the way of life you learned
21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:
21
when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,
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 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
23
to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
24
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another.
25
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
26 "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
26
“In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
27 nor give place to the devil.
27
and do not give the devil a foothold.
