Ephesians 4:17-24

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Ephesians 4:17-24

17So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
18They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.
19Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
20But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him — in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus —
22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
— Ephesians 4:17-24
