Colossians 3:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 Do not lie to one another, since you have stripped off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Now there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian and Scythian,[a] slave and free man. Rather, Christ is all and in all.
