Ephesians 4:17-25 (Epistle)
- 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.
