²² You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off^(A) your old self,^(B) which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;^{(C) 23} to be made new in the attitude of your minds;^{(D) 24} and to put on^(E) the new self,^(F) created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.^(G)

⁷ You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.^{(A) 8} But now you must also rid yourselves^(B) of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,^(C) and filthy language from your lips.^{(D) 9} Do not lie to each other,^(E) since you have taken off your old self^(F) with its practices ¹⁰ and have put on the new self,^(G) which is being renewed^(H) in knowledge in the image of its Creator.^{(I) 11} Here there is no Gentile or Jew,^(J) circumcised or uncircumcised,^(K) barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,^(L) but Christ is all,^(M) and is in all.
