Seeker Overlay ON
*
This I say ,
therefore ,
and testify in the Lord ,
that you must no longer walk as other Gentiles walk ,
in the futility of their minds ,
*
Having their understanding darkened ,
being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them ,
because of the blindness of their hearts :
*
Who ,
being past feeling ,
have given themselves over to licentiousness ,
greedy to practice all kinds of uncleanness .
*
But you did not learn Christ that way ;
*
If indeed you have heard him ,
and have been taught by him ,
as the truth is in Jesus ,
*
Then put off the old man ,
which belongs to your former life ,
which is corrupt through deceitful lusts ;
*
And be renewed in the spirit of your minds ;
*
And put on the new man ,
who ,
in the likeness of God ,
is created in true righteousness and holiness .
*
Therefore ,
putting away lying ,
let every man speak the truth with his neighbour :
for we are members of one another .
*
Be angry ,
and do not sin :
do not let the sun go down upon your wrath :
*
Give no opportunity to the devil .
*
Let him who stole ,
steal no more :
but rather let him labour ,
doing with his hands that which is good ,
that he may have something to give to him who has need .
*
Let no corrupt words proceed out of your mouth ,
but only that which is good for edifying ,
that it may impart grace to the hearers .
*
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God ,
by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption .
*
Let all bitterness ,
and wrath ,
and anger ,
and quarreling ,
and slander ,
be put away from you ,
along with all types of malice :
*
And be kind to one another ,
tenderhearted ,
forgiving one another ,
even as God in Christ has forgiven you .
