1.0 KiB
1.0 KiB
This I say therefore, and I exhort you in the Lord,
"Therefore I strongly encourage you in the Lord"
no longer walk as the Gentiles walk in the futility of their minds
"stop living like the Gentiles with their worthless thoughts"
being darkened in thought, alienated from the life of God by the ignorance that is in them and by the stubbornness of their heart
"They cannot experience the life of God because their minds have been blinded and their hearts are hard"
being darkened in thought
they no longer think or reason clearly.
alienated from the life of God
"separated from godly living"
by the ignorance that is in them
"because they have no knowledge of God"
by the stubbornness of their heart
They refuse to listen to God and follow His teachings.
They have handed themselves over to debauchery in impure actions, in every kind of greediness
"They have given their lives to an excessive desire for pleasure by their filthy behavior and greed for everything they desire"
