children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of
doctrine, by the sleight of men, by cunning craftiness after the wily
manner of error; (15)but holding the truth, may in love grow up into
him in all things, who is the head, Christ; (16)from whom all the
body, fitly framed together and compacted by means of every joint of
the supply, according to the working in the measure of each single
part, effects the increase of the body to the upbuilding of itself in
love.

(17)This therefore I say, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer
walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk[4:17], in the vanity of their
mind, (18)having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the
life of God because of the ignorance that is in then, because of the
hardness of their heart; (19)who, as being past feeling, gave
themselves up to wantonness, to work all uncleanness in
greediness[4:19]. (20)But ye did not so learn Christ, (21)if indeed ye
heard him, and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus; (22)that
ye put off, as concerns your former deportment, the old man who is
corrupted according to the lusts of deceit, (23)and be renewed in the
spirit of your mind, (24)and put on the new man, who was created after
God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.

(25)Wherefore, having put away falsehood, speak truth each one with
his neighbor; because we are members one of another. (26)Be angry and
sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath, (27)neither give
place to the Devil.

(28)Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labor,
working with his hands that which is good, that he may have to impart
to him that has need. (29)Let no corrupt discourse proceed out of your
mouth, but whatever is good for needful edification, that it may
impart grace to the hearers. (30)And grieve not the Holy Spirit of
God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption. (31)Let all
bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be
put away from you, with all malice; (32)and be kind to one another,
tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as also God in Christ forgave
you.

BECOME therefore followers of God, as beloved children (2)and walk in
love, as also Christ loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering
and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet smell.

(3)But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not
even be named among you, as becomes saints, (4)and fil
