⁸ But now ^(A)you must put them all away: ^(B)anger, wrath, malice, ^(C)slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. ^9 (D)Do not lie to one another, seeing that ^(E)you have put off ^(F)the old self^[a] with its practices

^12 (A)Put on then, as ^(B)God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, ^(C)compassionate hearts, ^(D)kindness, ^(E)humility, meekness, and patience,

^12 (A)The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us ^(B)cast off ^(C)the works of darkness and ^(D)put on the armor of light. ^13 (E)Let us walk properly as in the daytime, ^(F)not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, ^(G)not in quarreling and jealousy. ¹⁴ But ^(H)put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, ^(I)to gratify its desires.

²⁰ But that is not the way you ^(A)learned Christ!— ²¹ assuming that ^(B)you have heard about him and ^(C)were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, ²² to ^(D)put off ^(E)your old self,^[a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through ^(F)deceitful desires, ²³ and ^(G)to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and to put on ^(H)the new self, ^(I)created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

²⁵ Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you ^(J)speak the truth with his neighbor, for ^(K)we are members one of another.
