¹⁷ Therefore this I say and testify in the Lord, that you be walking no longer as indeed the Gentiles are walking, in the futility of their mind, ¹⁸ being darkened in their understanding, having been excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance being in them, because of the hardness of their hearts— ¹⁹ who, having become callous, gave themselves over to sensuality for the practice^[a] of every impurity with greed.
