# Connecting Statement:

|
|
|
Paul tells the Ephesians what they should no longer do now that they as believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit of God.
|
|
|
|
# Therefore, I say and insist on this in the Lord
|
|
|
|
"Because what I have just said, I will say something more to strongly encourage you because we all belong to the Lord"
|
|
|
|
# that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds
|
|
|
|
The word "walk" here is a metaphor for the way a person lives his life, especially whether he does right or does wrong. Alternate translation: "stop living the way the Gentiles live, with their worthless thoughts" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
