As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: |
as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance: |
As obedient children (or, children of obedience), do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in ignorance, |
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. |
[Live] as children of obedience [to God]; do not conform yourselves to the evil desires [that governed you] in your former ignorance [when you did not know the requirements of the Gospel]. |
as obedient children, not assuming an outward expression which does not come from your inner being and is not representative of it, an expression patterned after that expression which you formerly had in the ignorance of your passionate desires, |
Live as obedient children before God. Don’t let your character be moulded by the desires of your ignorant days, |
As obedient children, stop molding your character by the evil desires you used to cherish when you did not know any better, |
As 5613 obedient 5218 children, 5043 not 3361 fashioning yourselves 4964 according to the 3588 former 4386 lusts 1939 in 1722 your 5216 ignorance: 52 |
