I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;

Be not ye therefore partakers with them;

Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
