Ephesians 4:20-24
New American Standard Bible
20 But you did not (A)learn Christ in this way, 21 if indeed you (B)have heard Him and have (C)been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to (D)rid yourselves of the (E)old [a]self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the (F)lusts of deceit, 23 and that you are to be (G)renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to (H)put on the (I)new [b]self, which [c](J)in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Ephesians 4:20-24
International Standard Version
20 However, that is not the way you came to know the Messiah.[a] 21 Surely you have listened to him and have been taught by him, since truth is in Jesus. 22 Regarding your former way of life, you were taught[b] to strip off your old nature, which is being ruined by its deceptive desires, 23 to be renewed in your mental attitude, 24 and to clothe yourselves with the new nature, which was created according to God’s image[c] in righteousness and true holiness.
