Notes

God's people should do what is good, right, and true. This is in agreement with God's light (compare Romans 12:2; some early manuscripts use Spirit instead of light; compare Ephesians 4:22–24; Matthew 7:16–20; Galatians 5:22–23).

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