This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, |

This, therefore, I am saying and solemnly declaring in the Lord, that no longer are you to be ordering your behavior as the Gentiles order their behavior in the futility of their mind, |
This is my instruction, then, which I give you in the Lord’s name. Do not live any longer the futile lives of gentiles. |
So I mean this and now testify to it in the name of the Lord: You must stop living as the heathen usually do in the frivolity of their minds, |
This 5124 I say 3004 therefore, 3767 and 2532 testify 3143 in 1722 the Lord, 2962 that ye 5209 henceforth walk 4043 not 3371 as 2531 - 2532 other 3062 Gentiles 1484 walk, 4043 in 1722 the vanity 3153 of their 848 mind, 3563 |

- Ephesians: Paul’s Time Capsule - Neil Girrard - ( in Adobe/pdf format ) Some Bible scholars insist that Ephesians is merely a general letter for all believers - others question the authenticity of Paul’s authorship because Paul’s usual inclusion of eschatology (the study of prophesied end-times events) is absent. What is the real story and why is it so vitally important for us to understand Paul’s intent today?

- 5. Sin - the Work of the Flesh; The Sons of the Devil - Neil Girrard The works of the flesh are evident – and abounding – and they keep us out of God’s kingdom!
- Substitutes; The End Time Men - W.W. Fischer We are obviously mired and burdened today by religious practices promoting the wisdom of words and the manufactured ineffectiveness of the cross which Paul rejected in his letter to the Corinthians.
- Traditions of Men; The End Time Men - W.W. Fischer If anyone tries to go further in the Lord than those around them, a man-made tradition of some nice born-again Christian people will employ various techniques and traditions (including prayer) to stop this type of progress toward holiness and perfection in Christ.
