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.

²⁵Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another.

²⁶Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.

²⁷Give not place to the devil.

²⁸He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
