^{20 Ref} For this was not the teaching of Christ which was given to you;

^{21 Ref} If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:

^{22 Ref} That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

^{23 Ref} And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

^{24 Ref} And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

^{25 Ref} And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.
