(A)When Christ who is (B)our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in (C)glory.

(D)Therefore put to death (E)your members which are on the earth: (F)fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (G)which is idolatry. (H)Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon (I)the sons of disobedience, (J)in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

(K)But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who (L)is renewed in knowledge (M)according to the image of Him who (N)created him, 11 where there is neither (O)Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, (P)but Christ is all and in all.
