Ephesians 4:13–24

¹³till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ, ¹⁴that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray, ¹⁵and, being true in love, we may increase to Him in all things, who is the head—the Christ; ¹⁶from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.

¹⁷This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind, ¹⁸being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart, ¹⁹who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness; ²⁰and ye did not so learn the Christ, ²¹if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus; ²²ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, ²³and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
