 18being darkened in understanding, estranged from the life of God by reason of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the hardness of their hearts,
 19who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust.
 20But *ye* have not thus learnt the Christ,
 21if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as the truth is in Jesus;
 22namely your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts;
 23and being renewed in the spirit of your mind;
 24and your having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness.

Eph. 5:1‑25• 1Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,
 2and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.
 3But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;
 4and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.
 5For this ye are well informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.
 6Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
 7Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;
 8for ye were once darkness, but now light in the Lord; walk as children of light,
 9(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,)
 10proving what is agreeable to the Lord;
 11and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove them,
 12for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.
 13But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.
 14Wherefore he says, Wake up, thou that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.
 15See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,
 16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
 17For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what is the will of the Lord.
 18And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,
 19speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;
 20giving thanks at all times for all things to him who is God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 21submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
 22Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
 23for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly. *He* is Saviour of the body.
 24But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.
 25Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it, (Eph. 5:1‑25)
;
Eph. 6:1‑9• 1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just.
 2Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,
 3that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth.
 4And ye fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
 5Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;
 6not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,
 7serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;
 8knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of the Lord, whether bond or free.
 9And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him. (Eph. 6:1‑9)
;
Titus 2:2‑13• 2that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
 3that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;
 4that they may admonish the young women to be attached to their husbands, to be attached to their children,
 5discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
 6The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:
 7in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,
 8a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:
 9bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;
 10not robbing their masters, but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which is of our Saviour God in all things.
 11For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,
 12teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,
 13awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; (Titus 2:2‑13)
;
1 Peter 1:14‑16• 14as children of obedience, not conformed to your former lusts in your ignorance;
 15but as he who has called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation;
 16because it is written, Be ye holy, for *I* am holy. (1 Peter 1:14‑16)
;
1 Peter 2:9‑12• 9But *ye* are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light;
 10who once were not a people, but now God's people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.
 11Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
 12having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that as to that in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through your good works, themselves witnessing them, glorify God in the day of visitation. (1 Peter 2:9‑12)
;
1 Peter 4:2‑5• 2no longer to live the rest of his time in the flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.
 3For the time past is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.
 4Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously of you;
 5who shall render account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. (1 Peter 4:2‑5)
;
2 Peter 1:5‑8• 5But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
 6in knowledge temperance, in temperance endurance, in endurance godliness,
 7in godliness brotherly love, in brotherly love love:
 8for these things existing and abounding in you make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful as regards the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; (2 Peter 1:5‑8)
• Hence his burning zeal in reporting to all near or far off that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. (“Acts 26:16-23” by W. Kelly)
