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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 Therefore, put to death what belongs to your worldly nature:[a] sexual immorality, impurity,(A) lust,(B) evil desire, and greed,(C) which is idolatry.(D) 6 Because of these, God’s wrath(E) comes on the disobedient,[b] 7 and you once walked in these things when you were living(F) in them. 8 But now you must also 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[c](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[d] Creator.(Q) 11 In Christ[e] there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian,[f] slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.(R)
