Connecting Statement:
Paul tells the Ephesians what they should no longer do now that they as believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit of God.
Therefore, I say and insist on this in the Lord
"Because what I have just said, I will say something more to strongly encourage you because we all belong to the Lord"
that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds
The word "walk" here is a metaphor for the way a person lives his life, especially whether he does right or does wrong. Alternate translation: "stop living the way the Gentiles live, with their worthless thoughts" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
