15 Rather, (A)speaking the truth in love, we are to (B)grow up in every way into him who is (C)the head, into Christ, 16 (D)from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, (E)when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

The New Life

17 Now this I say and (F)testify in the Lord, (G)that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, (H)in the futility of their minds. 18 They (I)are darkened in their understanding, (J)alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to (K)their hardness of heart. 19 They (L)have become callous and (M)have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you (N)learned Christ!— 21 assuming that (O)you have heard about him and (P)were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to (Q)put off (R)your old self,[a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through (S)deceitful desires, 23 and (T)to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on (U)the new self, (V)created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
