Colossians 3:5-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 (A)Therefore [a]consider (B)the members of your earthly body as dead to [b](C)immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which [c]amounts to idolatry. 6 For it is because of these things that (D)the wrath of God will come [d]upon the sons of disobedience, 7 and (E)in them you also once walked, when you were living [e]in them. 8 But now you also, (F)put them all aside: (G)anger, wrath, malice, slander, and (H)abusive speech from your mouth. 9 [f](I)Do not lie to one another, since you (J)laid aside the old [g]self with its evil practices, 10 and have (K)put on the new self who is being [h](L)renewed to a true 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, [i](Q)barbarian, Scythian, (R)slave and freeman, but (S)Christ is all, and in all.
