Ephesians 4:17-19 Display Chapter and Footnotes   17 Therefore, this I say and testify in the Lord, that from this time forward you must not walk as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [which is to think thoughts with the carnal mind of man, which must be destroyed, to be replaced by the mind of Christ. From the Word of the Lord within: "Your thoughts are not my thoughts. At best your thoughts are a vain hiss. It is many thoughts that make the mortal man. Those who follow their own brain will weep and mourn; there will be great pain. The mind is a terrible thing."] 18 Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart. 19 Who being past feeling [pangs of conscience], have given themselves over to fleshly indulgences, to work all impurities with greediness. |
