Ephesians 4:17-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
17
So I say this, and affirm in the Lord, that you are to no longer walk just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their minds,
18
being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;
19
and they, having become callous, have given themselves up to indecent behavior for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.
20
But you did not learn Christ in this way,
21
if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,
22
that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,
23
and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
24
and to put on the new self, which in
the likeness of
God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
King James Version
Chapter 4
17
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20
But ye have not so learned Christ;
21
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
17
Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their thoughts.
18
They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.
19
They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more.
20
But that is not how you came to know Christ,
21
assuming you heard about him and were taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus,
22
to take off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires,
23
to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
24
and to put on the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
17
With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused.
18
Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him.
19
They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity.
20
But that isn’t what you learned about Christ.
21
Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him,
22
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.
23
Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.
24
Put on your new nature, created to be like God — truly righteous and holy.
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
17
Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds.
18
They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.
19
They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.
20
But that is not the way you learned Christ! —
21
assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,
22
to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,
23
and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
24
and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
New International Version
Chapter 4
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, and they are full of greed.
20
That, however, is not the way of life you learned
21
when you heard about Christ 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.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
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.
