Ephesians 4:20
Compare all
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,  
27 anor give1 place to the devil.  
28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather alet him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something bto give him who has need.  
29 aLet no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but bwhat is good for necessary edification, cthat it may impart grace to the hearers.  
30 And ado not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  
31 aLet all bitterness, wrath, anger,1 clamor, and bevil speaking be put away from you, cwith all malice.  
32 And abe kind to one another, tenderhearted, bforgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:20

learned Christ— (Philippians 3:10). To know Christ Himself, is the great lesson of the Christian life: this the Ephesians began to learn at their conversion. "Christ," in reference to His office, is here specified as the object of learning. "Jesus," in Ephesians 4:21, as the person.
