^{17 Ref} This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

^{18 Ref} 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:

^{19 Ref} Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

^{20 Ref} But ye have not so learned Christ;

^{21 Ref} If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

^{22 Ref} That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

^{23 Ref} And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

^{24 Ref} And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

^{25 Ref} Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

^{26 Ref} Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

^{27 Ref} Neither give place to the devil.

^{28 Ref} Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

^{29 Ref} Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

^{30 Ref} And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

^{31 Ref} Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

^{32 Ref} And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
