Ephesians 4:20-24
Wycliffe Bible
20 But ye have not so learned Christ,
21 if nevertheless ye heard him, and be taught in him, as is truth in Jesus.
22 Do ye away by the old living the old man, that is corrupt by the desires of error; [Do ye away after the first living the old man, that is corrupt after the desires of error;]
23 and be ye renewed in the spirit of your soul;[a]
24 and clothe ye the new man, which is made after God in rightwiseness and holiness of truth. [and clothe ye the new man, which after God is made of nought in rightwiseness and holiness of truth.]

Ephesians 4:20-24
New Matthew Bible
20 But you have not so learned Christ – 21 if it so be that you have heard him, and are taught in him, inasmuch as the truth is in Jesus. 22 So then, as concerning the former lifestyle, lay away from you that old man, which is corrupt through deceptive desires and affections, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and put on that new man, which is shapen in the image of God in righteousness and true holiness.
