ὡς τέκνα ὑπακοῆς, μὴ συσχηματιζόμενοι ταῖς πρότερον ἐν τῇ ἀγνοίᾳ ὑμῶν ἐπιθυμίαις,

os tekna upakoes, me suskhematizomenoi tais proteron en te agnoia umon epithumiais,

quasi filii oboedientiae non configurati prioribus ignorantiae vestrae desideriis

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:

As obedient children, and do not be partaking again of your former lusts, which you were lusting without knowledge.

as children of obedience, not conformed to your former lusts in your ignorance;

As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:

as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

Because you are children who obey God, don't live the kind of lives you once lived. Once you lived to satisfy your desires because you didn't know any better.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance.

As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that used to influence you when you were ignorant.

Like obedient children, do not comply with the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance,

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

So you must live as God's obedient children. Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
