Ephesians 4:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Ephesians 4:20

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.

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

25 Therefore, putting away lying, ^a“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for ^bwe are members of one another.

26 ^a“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

Ephesians 4:20-24

Now Paul described the futility of the Gentiles' way in previous verses and tells the Ephesians that this is not what they have been taught. They have been taught the truth that is in Jesus. Knowing the truth should produce a change that puts off the former conduct of sin, corruption, and the old way of life, and puts on the new person that God creates in us with His Holy Spirit after baptism.
