in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief,

among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others.

For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this hath come to pass - not from you, of God, the free-gift!

Wherefore, remember that ye, being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called "uncircumcision" to them which are called "circumcision" in the flesh - which circumcision is made by hands -

and how this secret was made known to me through a revelation, just as I wrote about briefly in the past.

which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit:

and make all men to see the communication of the mystery, which from the ages past hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;

This then I tell you and implore you in the Master's name, to pass your lives no longer as the Gentiles do in the perverseness of their minds;

Which, being past repentance, have given themselves unto wantonness, to work all manner of uncleanness even with greediness.

so then, as concerning the conversation in time past, lay from you that old man, which is corrupt through the deceivable lusts,

You must stop letting any bad word pass your lips, but only words that are good for building up as the occasion demands, so that they will result in spiritual blessing to the hearers.

For, of the secret things which are brought to pass by them, it is, shameful, even to speak!
