²⁴ Brethren, let each one remain with ^(A)God in that state in which he was called.

³¹ and those who use this world as not ^(A)misusing it. For ^(B)the form of this world is passing away.

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

³ For we have spent enough of our past ^[a]lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

The New Man

¹⁷ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should ^(A)no longer walk as ^[a]the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

²⁴ and that you ^(A)put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
