Notes

Ephesians 4:20–24

What you learned about Christ is the truth that comes from him. He gives true understanding (compare John 14:6). He calls his people to a completely new way of life (compare Romans 6:3–14; 13:12–14; Colossians 3:8–10).

Ephesians 4:17–5:20

Paul gives believers specific guidelines for living a new life in Christ.
