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:

Like obedient children, do not comply with the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance,

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

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is— his good, pleasing and perfect will. (niv)

As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do— living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. (niv)

not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; (niv)

in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. (niv)

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, (niv)

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. (niv)

They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.That, however, is not the way of life you learnedwhen you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.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; (niv)

In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. (niv)

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. (niv)

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (niv)
