Commentaries
Christian Conduct.
The first thing Paul asks of his communities is a complete break from their pagan past. The descriptions are direct and blunt: darkness, ignorance, hardness, impurity, deceit. The Apostle sees the new life of the Christian expressed in concrete actions: honesty, dedication to work, truthfulness, kindness, respect for others, compassion, and forgiveness. This is the image of the Christian: someone who lives and goes out of their way to help others, a creator of the alternative community that Christ brought us through his death and resurrection.
