Ephesians 4:17-23 We must no longer walk as the heathen do in the perverseness (in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility) of their minds. Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is beclouded. (They are) alienated (estranged, self-banished) from the life of God (with no share in it; this is) because of Ignorance (the want of knowledge and perception, the willfull blindness) that is deep-seated in them, do to the Hardness of Heart (to the insensitiveness of their moral nature). In their Spiritual Apathy they become callous and past feeling and reckless and have abandoned themselves to unbridled sensuality, Eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity (that their depraved desires suggest and demand). But you did not so learn Christ. Strip yourselves of your former nature...your previous manner of life that becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; and be Constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind (continually having a Fresh Mental and Spiritual Attitude).
