to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Or by the Spirit that is in your mind; that is, by the Holy Spirit; who is in the saints, and is the author of renovation in them; and who is the reviver and carrier on, and finisher of that work, and therefore that is called the renewing of the Holy Spirit, Tit 3:5 or rather...
That ye--following "Ye have been taught" (Eph 4:21). concerning the former conversation--"in respect to your former way of life." the old man--your old unconverted nature (Rom 6:6). is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts--rather, "which is being corrupted ('perisheth,' compare Gal 6:8, 'corruption,' that is, destruction) according to (that is, as might be expected from) the lusts of deceit." Deceit is personified; lusts are its servants and tools.
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; (e) Yourselves.
