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,
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;
19
who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20
But you have not so learned Christ,
21
if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22
that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,
23
and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24
and that you put on the new man which was created according to 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.
26
"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
27
nor give place to the devil.
