That you put off concerning the former way of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:22 Go To Ephesians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
As his lusts become corrupt, so does he himself. How do his lusts become corrupt? Everything is finally dissolved in death. Remember the psalm that says “in that very day” [of his death] “his thoughts perish.” “Beauty departs. It dies and decays at the approach of illness or old age. So does bodily vigor. Even luxury itself does not afford the same comfort in old age.” … Pleasures often are destructive. They end up being not really pleasures but bitterness and deceit and pretense, like a theatrical illusion. .
