Ephesians 417-24 James 12-4

EPHESIANS 417-24 17 So I tell you this, and
insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer
live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their
thinking. 18 They are darkened in their
understanding and separated from the life of God
because of the ignorance that is in them due to
the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all
sensitivity, they have given themselves over to
sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of
impurity, with a continual lust for more. 20 You,
however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21
Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in
accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22
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 23 to be made
new in the attitude of your minds 24 and to put
on the new self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness.

JAMES 12-4 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because
you know that the testing of your faith develops
perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its
work, so that you may be mature and complete, not
lacking anything.
