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,

and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image – in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth.

I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

when he nullified in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man out of two, thus making peace,
