Context — Exhortation to New Livinggenerated
Ephesians 4:17 is part of Paul's letter where he instructs the Ephesians on how to live as followers of Christ. He emphasizes the need for a change in behavior that reflects their new identity in Christ. This section contrasts the mindset of believers with that of the Gentiles, who are characterized by a lack of understanding and a life disconnected from God. Paul’s teaching encourages believers to embrace their new life and to reject the futility that defines the world around them.

The Key Word — ματαιότης, mataiotēsgenerated
The word ματαιότης (*mataiotēs*) is a noun that refers to futility or emptiness. It is derived from the adjective μάταιος, which conveys a sense of worthlessness or lack of purpose. In this context, it highlights the misguided thinking of the Gentiles, whose thoughts lead to a life devoid of true meaning.
In the New Testament, ματαιότης appears in passages like Romans 8:20 and 2 Peter 2:18, where it underscores the emptiness of a life apart from God. Paul uses this term to challenge believers to reject such futility and to live according to the truth they have received.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.' This wording is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of specific phrases. For example, the KJV uses 'henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk,' while the YLT states 'ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk.' The variations highlight different emphases on the nature of the Gentiles' walk and the call to believers.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains one main clause introduced by the verb λέγω, I say, which governs the entire statement. It includes a subordinate clause that expresses what Paul insists on, followed by a prepositional phrase that describes the manner of walking.
The subject of the main clause is implied as Paul, with the object being Τοῦτο, this. The structure emphasizes Paul's authoritative instruction to the Ephesians, linking their conduct directly to their identity in Christ.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ματαιότης does not have a direct parallel in the Septuagint but shares a thematic connection with the Hebrew word for vanity found in Ecclesiastes. This term is often used to convey the emptiness of pursuits apart from God.
In the context of the New Testament, the concept of futility is significant as it reflects the moral and spiritual condition of those outside of the covenant community, contrasting sharply with the life intended for believers.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ephesians 4:17 tells us that Paul urges the Ephesians to stop living like the Gentiles, who have empty thoughts and are disconnected from God. He emphasizes that believers should conduct their lives in a way that reflects their new identity in Christ.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Paul refers to the empty and misguided thoughts of the Gentiles, which lead to a life that is disconnected from God and lacks true purpose.
Paul emphasizes this change because he wants believers to reflect their new identity in Christ and to live in a way that honors God, contrasting sharply with the behaviors of those who do not know Him.
You can apply this teaching by examining your own thoughts and behaviors, ensuring they align with your identity as a believer and rejecting any patterns of thinking that lead to futility.
To 'walk' in this context means to live or conduct your life in a certain way. Paul calls believers to live in a manner that reflects their faith and relationship with Christ.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What are some ways I can identify and reject futile thinking in my own life?
- How does understanding my identity in Christ change the way I live day to day?
- In what areas of my life am I tempted to conform to the patterns of the world?

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early church Fathers like Tertullian and Origen reference this verse to discuss the transformation expected in believers and the futility of worldly thinking.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Hoc igitur dico, et testificor in Domino, ut jam non ambuletis, sicut et gentes ambulant in vanitate sensus sui,
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word οὖν (oun) is a particle used to express consequence, sequence, or to resume a narrative. It translates to 'therefore,' 'then,' or 'accordingly,' and appears frequently in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:10 and Romans 5:9. It can also serve in exhortations and questions, indicating what follows logically from previous statements.
οὖν,
particle expressing consequence or simple sequence (never standing first in a sentence),
wherefore, therefore, then: Mt 3:10, Lk 3:9, Jo 8:38, Ac 1:21, Ro 5:9, al.; in exhortations, Mt 3:8, Lk 11:35, Ac 3:19, Ro 6:12, al.; in questions, Mt 13:28, Mk 15:12, Jo 8:[5], Ro 6:1, al.; continuing a…

λέγω (legō) is a primary Greek verb meaning 'to say' or 'to speak.' It encompasses a range of uses, including expressing thoughts, making declarations, and narrating events. The New Testament frequently employs it in direct speech and as a way to convey meaning, such as in Matthew 27:11. Abbott-Smith notes its distinction from similar verbs like λαλέω.
In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek verb μαρτύρομαι (martyromai) is derived from μάρτυρ and means to call upon someone as a witness or to testify. It encompasses a range of meanings, including to affirm solemnly, protest, or beseech, often used in contexts of legal or serious declarations. In the New Testament, it appears in passages like Acts and Galatians, where it emphasizes solemn affirmation.
** μαρτύρομαι
(< μάρτυρ),
[in LXX: Jth 7:28, I Mac 2:56 א)*;]
to summon as witness (M, Th., 25 f.; Hort., 1Pe., 53 f.; Lft., Notes, 29; Ga 203), hence,
μαρτύρομαι (fr. μάρτυρ [cf. μάρτυς); 1. tocitea witness, bring forward a witness, call to witness, (Tragg., Thuce., Plato, sqq.); to affirm by appeal to God, to declare solemnly, protest: ταῦτα, Plat. Phil. p. 47 ¢.; ὅτι, Acts xx. 26; Gal. v. 3. 2. to conjure, beseech as in God's name, exhort solemnly: τινί, Acts xxvi. 22 L T Tr WH; foll. by the ace. ν΄. inf., Eph. iv. 17; εἰς τό foll. by ace. w. inf. [ef. B. § 140, 10, 3], 1 Th. ii. 12 (11) T Tr WH. [Compe.: δια-, προ-μαρτύρομαι.]
μαρτύρομαι. For this verb in its original sense of ‘‘summon to witness’’ cf. P Oxy VIII. 11148 (A.D. 237) ἐμαρτύρατο τοὺς τόδε TO μαρτυροποίημα σφραγίζειν μέλλοντας, ‘called to witness the persons about to seal the present affidavit” (Ed.). From this it is an easy transition to the meaning “asseverate,” as in 26. IIT. 4715: (1i/A.D.) μαρτύρονται κύριε τὴν σὴν τύχην, ‘“‘they swear by your Fortune, my lord,” and in Mahaffy’s restoration of P Petr II. 46 (a)? (B.C. 200) μαρτύρομαι βασιλέα ἸΤτολεμαῖον. This again passes into ‘‘solemnly charge,” the translation which Hort (ad 1 Pet 111) prefers in 1 Thess 215, Eph 417. According to Lightfoot (ad 1 Thess 215 ; cf. note on Gal 55) μαρτύρομαι is never ‘‘bear witness to” in the NT any more than in class. Greek, but exx. of this usage can be quoted from the Kouwn, e.g. P Oxy VIII. 11201 (early iii/A.p.) κατὰ τοῦτο μαρτύρομαι τὴν βίαν γυνὴ χήρα…

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

κύριος is a Greek word meaning 'lord' or 'master,' derived from the concept of authority. It is used in various contexts, referring to God, Jesus, and earthly masters. In the New Testament, it often denotes divine authority, as seen in verses like Matthew 12:8. The term can also express respect when addressing others, such as teachers or magistrates.
A MAN, according to the later Greek grammarians, was δεσπότης in respect of his slaves (Plato, Legg. vi. 756 e), therefore οἰκοδεσπότης, but κύριος in regard of his wife and children ; who in speaking either to him or of him, would give him this title of honour; “as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord” (κύριον αὐτὸν καλοῦσα, I Pet. ili. 6: ef. Plutarch, De Virt. Mul. 5. vv. Μίκκα καὶ Meyoro). There is a certain truth in this distinction. Undoubtedly there lies in κύριος the sense of an authority owning limitations—moral limitations it may be; it is implied too that the wielder of this authority will not exclude, in wielding it, a consideration of their good over whom it is exercised; while the δεσπότης exercises a more unrestricted power and absolute domination, confessing no such limitations or restraints. He who addresses another as δέσποτα, puts an emphasis of submission into his…

Lord
There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered.
(1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible LORD, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. The form “Jehovah” is retained only in Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4, both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.
(2.) Heb. ‘adon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master, as of slaves (Gen. 24:14, 27), or a ruler of his subjects (45:8), or a husband, as lord of his wife (18:12).
The old plural form of this Hebrew word is ’adonai. From a superstitious reverence for the name “Jehovah,” the Jews, in reading their Scriptures, whenever that name…
[GOD]
This name belongs to God by preeminence; and in this sense ought never to be given to any creature. Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, the Son of God, and equal with the Father, is often called Lord in Scripture, especially in the writing of Paul. The word LORD, in the English Bible, when printed in small capitals, stands always for JEHOVAH in the Hebrew. See JEHOVAH.

περιπατέω means to walk or to conduct oneself, often used metaphorically to describe how one lives or behaves. It is derived from the components meaning 'around' and 'to tread.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including physical walking (e.g., Matthew 9:5) and ethical living (e.g., Ephesians 4:1). There is a note of variation in how lexicons emphasize its metaphorical use, particularly in relation to living a certain way.

wok (peripatein): Aside from its frequent occurrence in the usual sense, the word "walk" is used figuratively of conduct and of spiritual states. (1) Observance of laws or customs: "Thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs" (Ac 21:21). (2) Of the spiritual life: "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light" (1Joh 1:7); "That like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life" (Ro 6:4); "Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Ga 5:16); "For we walk by faith, not by sight"…
Is often figuratively used to denote a man’s mode of life, or his spiritual character, course, and relations, Eze 11:20. He may walk as a carnal or as a spiritual man, Ro 8:1; with God, or in ignorance and sin, Ge 5:24 1Jo 5:21; in the fire of affliction, Isa 43:2, or in the light, purity, and joy of Christ’s favor here and in heaven, Ps 89:15 Re 3:4.

The Greek word καθώς (kathōs) is an adverb meaning 'just as' or 'according as.' It is built from the roots meaning 'down' and 'as,' and is used to express comparisons, proportions, or conditions. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, often introducing clauses that clarify or compare actions or states, such as in Luke 1:2 and John 5:23. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its usage.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

Mt 6:14 should therefore read, "Your heavenly Father will forgive you also"; Lu 6:13, "Whom also he named apostles"; Heb 8:6, "The mediator of a better covenant also"; and 1Th 4:14, `If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also (we believe that) those who are fallen asleep in Jesus, God will bring with Him.'

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

λοιπός (loipos) means 'remaining' or 'the rest.' It can refer to what is left behind or the remainder of a group, as seen in various New Testament contexts. The word can also function adverbially, indicating time or transition, such as 'henceforth' or 'for the rest.' While the lexicons are consistent in its meanings, they highlight its use in both substantive and adverbial forms.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word ἔθνος (i.e., *ethnos*) refers to a multitude or a nation, often distinguished from the Jewish people. It can denote a company of individuals or animals and is frequently used in the New Testament to refer to Gentiles or non-Jews. The term appears in various contexts, including Acts and Matthew, where it highlights the distinction between Jews and other nations.

Gentiles
(Heb., usually in plural, goyim), meaning in general all nations except the Jews. In course of time, as the Jews began more and more to pride themselves on their peculiar privileges, it acquired unpleasant associations, and was used as a term of contempt.
In the New Testament the Greek word Hellenes, meaning literally Greek (as in Acts 16:1, 3; 18:17; Rom. 1:14), generally denotes any non-Jewish nation.
(nations). All the people who were not Jews were so called by them, being aliens from the worship, rites and privileges of Israel. The word was used contemptuously by them. In the New Testament it is used as equivalent to Greek. This use of the word seems to have arisen from the almost universal adaption of the Greek language.
A name given by the Hebrews to all those that had not received the Law of Moses. Foreigners who embraced Judaism, they called proselytes. Since the promulgation of the gospel, the true religion has been extended to all nations; God, who had promised by his prophets to call the Gentiles to the faith, with a superabundance of grace, having fulfilled his promise; so that the Christian church is composed principally of Gentile converts, the Jews being too proud of their privileges to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah and Redeemer. In the writings of Paul, the Gentiles are generally called Greeks, Ro 1:14,16 1Co 1:22,24 Ga 3:28. So also in those of Luke, in the Ac 6:1…

περιπατέω means to walk or to conduct oneself, often used metaphorically to describe how one lives or behaves. It is derived from the components meaning 'around' and 'to tread.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including physical walking (e.g., Matthew 9:5) and ethical living (e.g., Ephesians 4:1). There is a note of variation in how lexicons emphasize its metaphorical use, particularly in relation to living a certain way.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The Greek word ματαιότης (*mataiotēs*) means vanity, purposelessness, or futility. It is derived from μάταιος and is used in the New Testament in Romans 8:20, Ephesians 4:17, and 2 Peter 2:18. The term conveys a sense of emptiness or lack of true purpose, and it appears frequently in the Septuagint, particularly in Ecclesiastes.

ματαιότης. This subst., which ‘‘ suggests either absence of purpose or failure to attain any true purpose ” (Robinson Z/%., p. 189), is found zer in the NT (Rom 8”, Eph 417, 2 Pet 218) and frequently in the LXX, but rarely in any secular author, cf. Pollux 6. 134 and Sextus Empiricus adv. Math. i. 278. The word is restored in C/G IV. 8743°.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences.

Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

νοῦς (nous) refers to the mind or intellect, encompassing faculties of perception, understanding, and reasoning. It appears in various New Testament contexts, such as in Romans and Philippians, often contrasting with the flesh or spirit. The entries indicate its use for both divine and human thought processes, but they do not present significant disagreement on its meanings.

1. No Precision in the Terms Used:
We look in vain in the Old Testament and New Testament for anything like scientific precision in the employment of terms which are meant to indicate mental operations.
In the Old Testament lebh is made to stand for the various manifestations of our intellectual and emotional nature. We are often misled by the different renderings in the different versions, both early and late.
Sometimes nephesh or "soul" is rendered by "mind" (De 18:6 the King James Version, "desire of his soul" or "mind"); sometimes ruah or "spirit" (Ge 26:35, "grief of mind," ruah). Here Luther renders the term Herzeleid ("grief of heart"), and the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) animum. Sometimes lebh is used, as in

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.
