Choose God – Ephesians 4:14-24
Ephesians 4:14-24v
13 Till we all come in the unity (oneness) of the faith (firm, pursuant, conviction), and (even) of the knowledge (perfect knowledge) of the Son (the heir) of God, unto (motion to) a perfect (complete) man, unto (motion to) the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be (may be) no more (no longer) children (not old enough to speak), tossed to and fro (surging about as waves), and carried about (born hither and thither) with every wind (air in motion) of doctrine (the teaching), by (remianing within) the sleight (entrapping by deceit) of men, and cunning craftiness (with subtlety), whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth (truthing it) in love, may grow up into him in all things, which (who) is the head, even Christ:
16 From (out from) whom the whole body fitly joined together (being perfectly fitted together) and compacted (knit together, to join) by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working (power in action) in the measure (measure of context, standard) of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify (invoke as witness) in the Lord, that ye henceforth (no longer) walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened (having been darkened in the understanding), being alienated (estranged) from the life of God (Theos) through the ignorance (want of perception) that is in them, because (on account of)of the blindness (hardness) of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling (hardened) have given themselves over (gave up) unto lasciviousness (excess, immoderation, wantonness), to work(ing) all uncleanness with greediness (covetousness).
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught (were instructed) by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off (put away) concerning (with the ultimate purpose) the former (before) conversation (manner of life) the old man (Adam nature), which is corrupt (being corrupted) according to the deceitful lusts (sinful desires);
23 And be renewed (implies that the whole course of life now flows in a different direction) in the spirit (your spirit, desires, actions) of your mind (reflective conscious);
24 And that ye put on (like a tee shirt) the new man (new spiritual nature), (that) which after (along the same motion) God is (was) created in (remaining within) righteousness and true (of the truth) holiness (godliness).
