³¹ and those who use the world, as though they did not ^(A)make full use of it; for ^(B)the present form of this world is passing away.

² And do not ^(A)be conformed to ^(B)this ^[a]world, but be transformed by the ^(C)renewing of your mind, so that you may ^[b](D)prove what the will of God is, that which is good and ^[c]acceptable and perfect.

³ For ^(A)the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, ^[a](B)having pursued a course of indecent behavior, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries.

The Christian’s Walk

^17 (A)So I say this, and affirm in the Lord, ^(B)that you are to no longer walk just as the ^[a]Gentiles also walk, in the ^(C)futility of their minds,

²⁴ and to ^(A)put on the ^(B)new ^[a]self, which ^[b](C)in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
