WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ So then, I affirm and insist on this in the Lord: you must no longer carry on as the rest of the Gentiles do, in the futility of their mind, ¹⁸ having been darkened in their understanding, being alienated [as a continuing condition] from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts, ¹⁹ who, having become dead to hope, have abandoned themselves to depravity, greedily indulging in every kind of vileness.
