你们既作顺命的儿女，就不要效法从前蒙昧无知的时候那放纵私欲的样子。

爾既為子、而悅從天父、則勿仍暗昧以狥欲、

爾既為順命之子、則毋如昔蒙昩之時、放縱嗜慾、

務為天主之孝子、毋復縱情恣慾、一如昔日未聞道時之所為也。

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

You should obey your Father. You shouldn’t give in to evil desires. They controlled your life when you didn’t know any better.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God– what is good and well- pleasing and perfect.

in that he spends the rest of his time on earth concerned about the will of God and not human desires.For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non- Christians desire. You lived then in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts, and wanton idolatries.

not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God.

in which you formerly lived according to this world’s present path, according to the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the ruler of the spirit that is now energizing the sons of disobedience,

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to various passions and desires, spending our lives in evil and envy, hateful and hating one another.But“ when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared,he saved us not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit,

So put to deat h whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.Because of these things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.You also lived your lives in this way at one time, when you used to live among them.

They are darkened in their understanding, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.Because they are callous, they have given themselves over to indecency for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.But you did not learn about Christ like this,if indeed you heard about him and were taught in him, just as the truth is in Jesus.You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires,

Therefore, although God has overlooked such times of ignorance, he now commands all people everywhere to repent,

Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.

Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.
