旧人和新人
4:17 所以我说，且在主里确实地说，你们行事，不要再像外邦人存虚妄的心行事。
4:18 他们心地昏昧，与 神所赐的生命隔绝了，都因自己无知，心里刚硬；
4:19 良心既然丧尽，就放纵私欲，贪行种种的污秽。
4:20 你们学了基督，却不是这样。
4:21 如果你们听过他的道，领了他的教，学了他的真理，
4:22 就要脱去你们从前行为上的旧人，这旧人是因私欲的迷惑渐渐变坏的。
4:23 又要将你们的心志改换一新，
4:24 并且穿上新人，这新人是照着 神的形像造的，有真理的仁义和圣洁。
17So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
18They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
19Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
20You, however, did not come to know Christ that way.
21Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
22You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
23to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
