So I say this
And I insist in the Lord
That you no longer live as the Gentiles do
In the futility of their thinking
They're darkened in
Their understanding
Alienated from the life of God
Because of ignorance due to hardened hearts
For they are callous
Given themselves over to
Indecency for the practice of all
Impurity with greediness. But
You did not learn
About Christ like this, if
Indeed you heard about him, taught in him
Just as the truth is in Jesus
You were
Taught to put away
Your old
Way of life
To lay aside
The old man
Corrupted and deluded by deceitful desires
To be
Renewed in the
Spirit of your mind
And put on
The new man
Created in God's image-in righteousness
And holiness
That comes from truth
