So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated fro 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, with a continual lust for more.
You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Ephesians 4:17-20.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of GOD, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30.
Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from you heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the LORD, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:6-8 & 6:11.
Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load. Galatians 6:4-5. Amen.
