: CHANGE your THOUGHTS, AVOID the COPS

: “Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their THOUGHTS. They are darkened in their UNDERSTANDING, excluded from THE LIFE of God, because of the IGNORANCE that is IN THEM and because of THE HARDNESS of their HEARTS. They BECAME CALLOUS and GAVE themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of EVERY KIND of impurity with a DESIRE for MORE and MORE. But that is not how you came TO KNOW CHRIST, assuming you HEARD about Him and WERE TAUGHT by Him, as the truth is IN JESUS, to TAKE OFF your former WAY of life, the OLD SELF that is CORRUPTED by DECEITFUL DESIRES, to be RENEWED in the spirit of YOUR MIND, and to PUT ON the NEW SELF, the one CREATED according to GOD'S LIKENESS in righteousness and PURITY of the TRUTH.” Christian Standard Bible.
