Ephesians 4:17-18 So, I tell you this, and insist on it by the authority of the Lord: Do not continue to live with worthless thoughts as unconverted Gentiles do.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ So, I tell you this, and insist [on it] by [the authority of] the Lord: Do not continue to live with worthless thoughts as [unconverted] Gentiles do. ¹⁸ Their understanding [of spiritual things] is darkened and excluded from the [spiritual] life that God gives, because of the ignorance in their minds and the stubbornness in their hearts.
