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