17-18: "...This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the Life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19: "who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness." (Eph.4:17-19 KJV)
The wording of the KJV can sometimes challenge us in these "modern times." When that happens, you might want to compare the KJV with another translation, like the NIV:
17-18: "...So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 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."
