Colossians 3:5–14

^5jPut to death therefore ^kwhat is earthly in you:^{2 l}sexual immorality, impurity, ^mpassion, evil desire, and covetousness, ⁿwhich is idolatry. ^6oOn account of these the wrath of God is coming.^{3 7p}In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. ⁸But now ^qyou must put them all away: ^ranger, wrath, malice, ^sslander, and obscene talk from your mouth. ^9tDo not lie to one another, seeing that ^uyou have put off ^vthe old self⁴ with its practices ¹⁰and ^whave put on ^xthe new self, ^ywhich is being renewed in knowledge ^zafter the image of ^aits creator. ^11bHere there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,⁵ free; but Christ is ^call, and in all.

^12dPut on then, as ^eGod’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, ^fcompassionate hearts, ^gkindness, ^hhumility, meekness, and patience, ^13hbearing with one another and, ⁱif one has a complaint against another, ^gforgiving each other; ^gas the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. ¹⁴And above all these put on ^jlove, which ^kbinds everything together in ^lperfect harmony.
