BE MADE NEW IN THE ATTITUDE OF YOUR MINDS, BE IMITATORS OF GOD: Eph.4:17-24

Instructions for Christian Living

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. Surly You Heard of Christ and Were Taught in Christ 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.
