Colossians 3:5-11
Legacy Standard Bible
5 (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. 6 On account of these things, (D)the wrath of God is coming [b]upon the sons of disobedience, 7 and (E)in them you also once walked, when you were living [c]in them. 8 But now you also, (F)lay them all aside: (G)wrath, anger, malice, slander, and (H)abusive speech from your mouth. 9 [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.

Colossians 3:5-11
American Standard Version
5 Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6 for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God [a]upon the sons of disobedience: 7 [b]wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; 8 but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: 9 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, 10 and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
