life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in
accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard
to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being
corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of
your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness.
