Ephesians:4:17-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
This I say therefore ,
and testify in the Lord ,
that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk ,
in the vanity of their mind ,
*
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 : (
note :)
blindness :
or ,
hardness (:
note )
*
Who being past feeling have given themselves over to licentiousness ,
to work all uncleanness with greediness .
*
But ye have not so learned Christ ;
*
If indeed ye have heard him ,
and have been taught by him ,
as the truth is in Jesus :
*
That ye put off concerning the former manner of life the old man ,
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts ;
*
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind ;
*
And that ye put on the new man ,
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness . (
note :)
true …:
or ,
holiness of truth (:
note )
*
Therefore putting away lying ,
speak every man truth with his neighbour :
for we are members one of another .
*
Be ye angry ,
and sin not :
let not the sun go down upon your wrath :
*
Neither give place to the devil .
*
Let him that stole steal no more :
but rather let him labour ,
working with hands the thing which is good ,
that he may have to give to him that needeth . (
note :)
to give :
or ,
to distribute (:
note )
*
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth ,
but that which is good to the use of edifying ,
that it may minister grace to the hearers . (
note :)
to …:
or ,
to edify profitably (:
note )
*
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God ,
by whom ye are sealed to the day of redemption .
*
Let all bitterness ,
and wrath ,
and anger ,
and clamour ,
and evil speaking ,
be put away from you ,
with all malice :
*
And be ye kind one to another ,
tenderhearted ,
forgiving one another ,
even as God for Christ ’
s sake hath forgiven you .
