Put on the new self

Walk Worthily in One Body · Ephesians 4

Story guide: Changing garments at a threshold interprets putting off the old self and putting on the new.

17Therefore I say this and testify in the Lord: you must no longer walk as the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds,

18being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their hearts,

19who, having become callous, gave themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

20But you did not learn Messiah in this way,

21if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, just as truth is in Jesus,

22to put off, with respect to your former way of life, the old man, which is being corrupted according to deceitful desires,

23and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24and to put on the new man, created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
