18. As so I insist- and God backs me up on this- that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty- headed, mindless crowd. Theyve refused for so long to deal with God that theyve lost touch not only with God but with reality itself…But thats no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him, been well instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything- and I do mean everything- connected to the old life has to go. Its rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life- a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. - Ephesians 4:17-24
