The document provides an overview of how Christians are called to "walk worthy" according to passages in Ephesians and other books of the Bible. It discusses that believers are to walk in unity, love, light, and by being filled with the Spirit. Specific instructions are given, such as putting off the old self and putting on the new, imitating God, and walking in wisdom. The goal is for believers to mature in Christ through developing humility, gentleness, patience, and by submitting to one another out of reverence for God.

4. 1 Peter 2:21 For to this you were called, because
Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example,
that you should follow His steps:

6. Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

7. 2 Corinthians 5:6–8
So we are always
confident, knowing
that while we are at
home in the body
we are absent from
the Lord. 7 For we
walk by faith, not
by sight. 8 We are
confident, yes, well
pleased rather to
be absent from the
body and to be
present with the
Lord.

8. The wilderness journey of 40 years in the Sinai
desert for the nation of Israel was a classroom of
learning to walk in faith.

38. How Do We Learn to
“Walk Worthy”?

39. 7 But to each one of us grace was given
according to the measure of Christ’s
gift.
Ephesians 4:7–6

40. 11 And He Himself gave some to be
apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers, 12 for the equipping of the
saints for the work of ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ,

41. 11 And He Himself gave some to be
apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers, 12 for the equipping of the
saints for the work of ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we
all come to the unity of the faith and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, to a
perfect man, to the measure of the
stature of the fullness of Christ;

42. 14 that we should no longer be children,
tossed to and fro and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the
trickery of men, in the cunning
craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but,
speaking the truth in love, may grow up
in all things into Him who is the head—
Christ—

43. 16 from whom the whole body, joined
and knit together by what every joint
supplies, according to the effective
working by which every part does its
share, causes growth of the body for
the edifying of itself in love.

44. Philippians 1:27 Only let your
conduct be worthy of the
gospel of Christ . . . that you
stand fast in one spirit, with
one mind striving together
for the faith of the gospel,

45. Ephesians 4:17 This I say, therefore, and
testify in the Lord, that you should no
longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk

47. Ephesians 4:20–21 But you have not so
learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have
heard Him and have been taught by Him,

48. Ephesians 4:20–21 But you have not so
learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have
heard Him and have been taught by Him,
as the truth is in Jesus:

49. Ephesians 4:22–24 that you put off,
concerning your former conduct, the old
man which grows corrupt according to
the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in
the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you
put on the new man which was created
according to God, in true righteousness
and holiness.
“putoff” “puton”

50. Ephesians 4:22–24 that you put off,
concerning your former conduct, the old
man which grows corrupt according to
the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in
the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you
put on the new man which was created
according to God, in true righteousness
and holiness.

51. Ephesians 5 1 Therefore be imitators of
God as dear children.

52. Ephesians 5 1 Therefore be imitators of
God as dear children. 2 And walk in love…

53. Ephesians 5 1 Therefore be imitators of
God as dear children. 2 And walk in love…
8 you are light in the Lord. Walk as children
of light

54. Ephesians 5:2-7 And walk in love, as
Christ also has loved us and given Himself
for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God
for a sweet-smelling aroma.

55. Is patient
Is kind
It Does not envy
It does not boast
It is not proud
It is not rude
It is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered

58. 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child,
I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child; but when I became a
man, I put away childish things.

59. Ephesians 5:2-7 3 But fornication and all
uncleanness or covetousness, let it not
even be named among you, as is fitting
for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish
talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not
fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

60. Ephesians 5:2-7 5 For this you know, that
no fornicator, unclean person, nor
covetous man, who is an idolater, has any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and
God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of these things the
wrath of God comes upon the sons of
disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be
partakers with them.

67. Ephesians 5 8b Walk as children of light 9
(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10
finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

68. Ephesians 5 11 And have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness,

69. Ephesians 5 11 And have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful
even to speak of those things which are
done by them in secret. 13 But all things
that are exposed are made manifest by
the light, for whatever makes manifest is
light.

71. Ephesians 5 14 Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the
dead, and Christ will give you light.” 15 See
then that you walk circumspectly, not as
fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.

72. Ephesians 5 18 And do not be drunk with
wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled
with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all
things to God the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ,

73. Ephesians 5 18 And do not be drunk with
wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled
with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another

singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all
things to God the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ,

74. Ephesians 5 18 And do not be drunk with
wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled

singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all
things to God the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ,

75. Ephesians 5 18 And do not be drunk with
wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled
with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all
things to God the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ,

in the fear of God.
