Ephesians 4:19

Ephesians 4:19

The New Man

17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should ^ano longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the ^ablindness of their heart;

19 ^awho, being past feeling, ^bhave given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But you have not so learned Christ,

21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 that you ^aput off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

23 and ^abe renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and that you ^aput on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

<< Ephesians 4:18

Ephesians 4:20 >>

Ephesians 4:19 Who being past feeling. Having trampled conscience under foot until it is calloused. Having silenced its admonitions, they give themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. To licentiousness and evil. This description is not overdrawn. Purity of life was not even considered a virtue among the Gentiles of that period.
