Be Made New...

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.  
18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 
19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. 
20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned  
21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus
22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;  
23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds
24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.  
26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,  
27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
