Colossians 3:1-9
Amplified Bible
Put On the New Self

La vida antigua y la nueva
5 Haced morir, pues, lo terrenal en vosotros: fornicación, impureza, pasiones desordenadas, malos deseos y avaricia, que es idolatría; 6 cosas por las cuales la ira de Dios viene sobre los hijos de desobediencia, 7 en las cuales vosotros también anduvisteis en otro tiempo cuando vivíais en ellas. 8 Pero ahora dejad también vosotros todas estas cosas: ira, enojo, malicia, blasfemia, palabras deshonestas de vuestra boca. 9 No mintáis los unos a los otros, habiéndoos despojado del viejo hombre(B) con sus hechos,
