Ephesians

Ephesians 4:20–24

²⁰But this is not the way you came to know Christ. ²¹Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him— in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus— ²²to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; ²³to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; ²⁴and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
