(A)Therefore, [a]consider (B)the members of your earthly body as dead to (C)sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry. On account of these things, (D)the wrath of God is coming [b]upon the sons of disobedience, and (E)in them you also once walked, when you were living [c]in them. But now you also, (F)lay them all aside: (G)wrath, anger, malice, slander, and (H)abusive speech from your mouth. [d](I)Do not lie to one another, since you (J)put off the old man with its evil practices, 10 and have (K)put on the new man who is being [e](L)renewed to a full knowledge (M)according to the image of the One who (N)created him— 11 a renewal in which (O)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, (P)circumcised and uncircumcised, [f](Q)barbarian, Scythian, (R)slave, and freeman, but (S)Christ is all and in all.
