Ephesians 4:13–24

¹³Until we all meet into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ:

¹⁴That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive.

¹⁵But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:

¹⁶From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.

¹⁷This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind:

¹⁸Having their understanding darkened: being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.

¹⁹Who despairing have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.

²⁰But you have not so learned Christ:

²¹If so be that you have heard him and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:

²²To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.

²³And be renewed in spirit of your mind:

²⁴And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
