^5 (A)Therefore, ^[a]treat ^(B)the parts of your earthly body as dead to ^(C)sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which ^[b]amounts to idolatry. ⁶ For it is because of these things that ^(D)the wrath of God is coming ^[c]upon the ^[d]sons of disobedience, ⁷ and ^(E)in them you also once walked, when you were living ^[e]in them. ⁸ But now you also, ^(F)rid yourselves of all of them: ^(G)anger, wrath, malice, slander, and ^(H)obscene speech from your mouth. ^9 [f](I)Do not lie to one another, since you ^(J)stripped off the old ^[g]self with its evil practices, ¹⁰ and have ^(K)put on the new self, which is being ^[h](L)renewed to a true knowledge ^(M)according to the image of the One who ^(N)created it— ¹¹ a renewal in which ^(O)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^(P)circumcised and uncircumcised, ^[i](Q)barbarian, ^[j]Scythian, ^(R)slave, and free, but ^(S)Christ is all, and in all.

¹² So, as those who have been ^(T)chosen of God, holy and beloved, ^(U)put on a ^(V)heart of compassion, kindness, ^(W)humility, gentleness, and ^[k](X)patience; ^13 (Y)bearing with one another, and ^(Z)forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; ^(AA)just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. ¹⁴ In addition to all these things put on love, which is ^[l](AB)the perfect bond of ^(AC)unity. ¹⁵ Let ^(AD)the peace of Christ, to which you were ^[m]indeed called in ^(AE)one body, ^[n]rule in your hearts; and ^[o]be thankful. ¹⁶ Let ^(AF)the word of ^[p]Christ richly dwell within you, ^[q]with all wisdom ^(AG)teaching and admonishing ^[r]one another ^(AH)with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, ^(AI)singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ^17 (AJ)Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^(AK)giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
