So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Romans 13:12

Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. Colossians 3:9-10

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Hebrews 12:1

With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Ephesians 4:17

You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols. 1 Peter 4:3

Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. 1 Peter 4:4

But that isn’t what you learned about Christ. Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Ephesians 4:20-22

a. Throw off your old sinful life

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves...... Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Galatians 5:16, 24

Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him. Ephesians 4:18

b. They had a darkened understanding far from God

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. 2 Corinthians 4:4

They knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. Romans 1:21-22 16

c. They were spiritual disconnected

Judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. John 3:19

They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity. Ephesians 4:19

d. They experience a moral decline

Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! Psalm 14:1

Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:24

But that isn’t what you learned about Christ. Ephesians 4:20

a. A new connection with Jesus

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, Ephesians 4:21

b. A new conviction

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Colossians 3:1

Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:24

c. A new creation

Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17

Let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Ephesians 4:23

d. Empower the inner man

Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 2 Corinthians 4:16

Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:1-2
