| 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, with a continual lust for more.
20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that
way.
21 Surely you heard of him 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.
