23: ανανεουσθαι δε τω πνευματι του νοος υμων— edit Textus Receptus
23: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;- edit KJV text
23: And be renewed in spirit of your mind:— edit Douay text


And be renewed. That is, it is necessary that a man who has been following these should become a new man. See "Jn 3:3, seq. Comp. "2Cor 4:16".

The word here used -- ananeow -- does not occur elsewhere in the New Testament; but it has the same meaning as the word used in 2Cor 4:16, and Col 3:10. It means to make new, and is descriptive of the work of regeneration. This was addressed to the church, and to those whom Paul regarded as Christians.

In the spirit of your mind. In your temper; your heart; your nature.
