¹² Therefore do not let sin reign^(A) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,^(B) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.^{(C) 14} For sin shall no longer be your master,^(D) because you are not under the law,^(E) but under grace.^(F)

³⁴ Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God^(A)—I say this to your shame.^(B)

³¹ Get rid of^(A) all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.^(B)

⁸ But now you must also rid yourselves^(A) of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,^(B) and filthy language from your lips.^(C)
