But you did not learn Christ so,
for certainly you heard (about) him
and have been taught in him,
just as the truth is in Jesus,
you! take off the ‘old person‘
that is the former way of life
which is being corrupted
in accordance with deceitful desires
but you be renewed
in the spirit, that is your mind,
and you put on the ‘new person’
which is being created in accordance with God
in righteousness and holiness
of the truth
O thou, who art the light of the minds that know thee,
the life of the souls that love thee,
and the strength of the wills that serve thee;
help us so to know thee that we may truly love thee;
so to love thee that we may fully serve thee,
whom to serve is perfect freedom.
Amen
