23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in (A)promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are (B)of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

Put On the New Self

(C)If then you have been raised with Christ, seek (D)the things that are above, where Christ is, (E)seated at the right hand of God. (F)Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For (G)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ (H)who is your[a] life (I)appears, then you also will appear with him (J)in glory.

(K)Put to death therefore (L)what is earthly in you:[b] (M)sexual immorality, impurity, (N)passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (O)which is idolatry.
