Put to death,1 therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:2 sexual immorality,3 impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,4 which is idolatry.5
6
Because of these, the wrath of God6 is coming.a
7
You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.7
8
But now you must rid yourselves8 of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,9 and filthy language from your lips.10
9
Do not lie to each other,11 since you have taken off your old self12 with its practices
10
and have put on the new self,13 which is being renewed14 in knowledge in the image of its Creator.15
11
Here there is no Greek or Jew,16 circumcised or uncircumcised,17 barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,18 but Christ is all,19 and is in all.
