I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
But ye have not so learned Christ;
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
