²² that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to ^(A)rid yourselves of the ^(B)old ^[a]self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the ^(C)lusts of deceit, ²³ and that you are to be ^(D)renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and to ^(E)put on the ^(F)new ^[b]self, which ^[c](G)in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

⁸ But now you also, ^(A)rid yourselves of all of them: ^(B)anger, wrath, malice, slander, and ^(C)obscene speech from your mouth. ^9 [a](D)Do not lie to one another, since you ^(E)stripped off the old ^[b]self with its evil practices, ¹⁰ and have ^(F)put on the new self, which is being ^[c](G)renewed to a true knowledge ^(H)according to the image of the One who ^(I)created it— ¹¹ a renewal in which ^(J)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^(K)circumcised and uncircumcised, ^[d](L)barbarian, ^[e]Scythian, ^(M)slave, and free, but ^(N)Christ is all, and in all.

¹² So, as those who have been ^(O)chosen of God, holy and beloved, ^(P)put on a ^(Q)heart of compassion, kindness, ^(R)humility, gentleness, and ^[f](S)patience; ^13 (T)bearing with one another, and ^(U)forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; ^(V)just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. ¹⁴ In addition to all these things put on love, which is ^[g](W)the perfect bond of ^(X)unity.
