15. But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow into him with reference to all things, who is the head, Christ,
16. from whom the whole body, joined together and held together by every supporting ligament, according to the working by measure of each single part, the growth of the body makes for the building up of itself in love.
17. This therefore I say and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the Gentiles walk: in the futility of their mind,
18. being darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,
19. who, becoming callous, gave themselves over to licentiousness, for the pursuit of all uncleanness in greediness.
20. But you did not learn Christ in this way,
21. if indeed you have heard about him, and you were taught by him (just as truth is in Jesus),
22. that you take off, according to your former way of life, the old man, who is being destroyed according to deceitful desires,
23. be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24. and put on the new man (in accordance with God), who is created in righteousness and holiness from the truth.
25. Therefore, putting aside the lie, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
26. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger,
