Colossians 3:2-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

^2 [a](A)Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. ³ For you have ^(B)died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, ^(C)who is our life, is revealed, ^(D)then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

^5 (E)Therefore ^[b]consider ^(F)the members of your earthly body as dead to ^[c](G)immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which ^[d]amounts to idolatry. ⁶ For it is because of these things that ^(H)the wrath of God will come ^[e]upon the sons of disobedience, ⁷ and ^(I)in them you also once walked, when you were living ^[f]in them. ⁸ But now you also, ^(J)put them all aside: ^(K)anger, wrath, malice, slander, and ^(L)abusive speech from your mouth. ^9 [g](M)Do not lie to one another, since you ^(N)laid aside the old ^[h]self with its evil practices, ¹⁰ and have ^(O)put on the new self who is being ^[i](P)renewed to a true knowledge ^(Q)according to the image of the One who ^(R)created him— ¹¹ a renewal in which ^(S)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^(T)circumcised and uncircumcised, ^[j](U)barbarian, Scythian, ^(V)slave and freeman, but ^(W)Christ is all, and in all.
