13. until we all come to the unity of the belief and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the completeness of Messiah,
14. so that we should no longer be children, tossed and borne about by every wind of teaching, by the trickery of men, in cleverness, unto the craftiness of leading astray,
15. but, maintaining the truth in love, we grow up in all respects into Him who is the head, Messiah,
16. from whom the entire body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the working by which each part does its share, causes growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
17. So this I say, and witness in the Master, that you should no longer walk as the gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,
18. having been darkened in their understanding, having been estranged from the life of Elohim, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,
19. who, having become callous, have given themselves up to indecency, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20. But you have not so learned Messiah,
21. if indeed you have heard Him and were taught by Him, as truth is in יהושע:
22. that you put off – with regard to your former way of life – the old man, being corrupted according to the desires of the deceit,
23. and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24. and that you put on the renewed man which was created according to Elohim, in righteousness and set-apartness of the truth.
