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.

Christian Standard Bible
5 Therefore, put to death what belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity,(A) lust,(B) evil desire, and greed,(C) which is idolatry.(D) 6 Because of these, God’s wrath(E) is coming upon the disobedient,[a] 7 and you once walked in these things when you were living(F) in them. 8 But now, put away(G) all the following: anger,(H) wrath,(I) malice,(J) slander,(K) and filthy language from your mouth.(L) 9 Do not lie(M) to one another, since you have put off(N) the old self(O) with its practices 10 and have put on(P) the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your[b] Creator.(Q) 11 In Christ there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.(R)
