Colossians 3:2-8
New American Standard Bible
2 [a](A)Set your minds on the things that are 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]treat (F)the parts of your earthly body as dead to (G)sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which [c]amounts to idolatry. 6 For it is because of these things that (H)the wrath of God is coming [d]upon the [e]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)rid yourselves of all of them: (K)anger, wrath, malice, slander, and (L)obscene speech from your mouth.
