Colossians 3:2-10
English Standard Version
2 (A)Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For (B)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ (C)who is your[a] life (D)appears, then you also will appear with him (E)in glory.
5 (F)Put to death therefore (G)what is earthly in you:[b] (H)sexual immorality, impurity, (I)passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (J)which is idolatry. 6 (K)On account of these the wrath of God is coming.[c] 7 (L)In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now (M)you must put them all away: (N)anger, wrath, malice, (O)slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 (P)Do not lie to one another, seeing that (Q)you have put off (R)the old self[d] with its practices 10 and (S)have put on (T)the new self, (U)which is being renewed in knowledge (V)after the image of (W)its creator.
