Renewal And Creation

Renovamini autem sensu mentis vestrae, et induimini novum hominem, qui secundum Deum creatus est in veritate et justitia. Justum et verum est rectam viam sequi: hic autem rectam viam sequitur, qui devotus creatori suo in voluntate ejus ambulat, quam gentilitas nescit. Innovatus enim spiritu mentis novum hominem dicitur indutus, qui est Christus; Christum enim induitur, qui per fidem renatus in Christo, aemulus est vitae, quam tradidit Christus; ut juxta Deum creatus videatur: in eo enim quis creatus est, in quo sapit; et ideo veritas et justitia Dei a gentilibus ignoratur. Cum enim credentes Deum agnoscunt creatorem, servantes mandata ejus, in justitia et veritate creantur. Ambrosiaster, In Epistolam ad Ephesios, Caput IV Source: Migne PL 17.391b-c

Be renewed in the sense of your minds, and put on the new man, who is created according to God in truth and justice. 1 Is it just and true to follow the right way, and he follows the right way who devoted to his Creator walks in His will, which will the Gentiles do not know. He is said to be renewed who is endowed with the new man in the spirit of his mind, which is Christ, for he is endowed with Christ who is reborn through faith in Christ, eager for the life which Christ has given, for which reason he appears created by God, for in whom he has been created he is wise, and therefore the truth and justice of God is unknown to the Gentiles, for it is when they believe in God that they know the creator, and in keeping His commandments that they are created in justice and in truth. Ambrosiaster, Commentary On The Letter of Saint Paul To The Ephesians, Chapter 4 1 Ephes 4.23-24
