So I say this,
and affirm in the Lord,
you are no longer to ‘walk’
as the gentiles ‘walk’
in the futility of their minds,
having been darkened in their understanding,
having been separated from the life of God
because of the ignorance
in them
because of the hardness of their hearts
who
having became insensitive
have given themselves to debauchery
for the practice of every impurity
with a hunger for more.

God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
