Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ,

and do not think about how to gratify

the desires of the sinful nature.

^{Romans 13.14}

You were taught,

with regard to your former way of life,

to put off your old self,

which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

to be made new in the attitude of your minds;

and to put on the new self,

created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4.22-24
