Colossians 3:3-15

New American Standard Bible

³ For you have ^(A)died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, ^(B)who is our life, is revealed, ^(C)then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

^5 (D)Therefore, ^[a]treat ^(E)the parts of your earthly body as dead to ^(F)sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which ^[b]amounts to idolatry. ⁶ For it is because of these things that ^(G)the wrath of God is coming ^[c]upon the ^[d]sons of disobedience, ⁷ and ^(H)in them you also once walked, when you were living ^[e]in them. ⁸ But now you also, ^(I)rid yourselves of all of them: ^(J)anger, wrath, malice, slander, and ^(K)obscene speech from your mouth. ^9 [f](L)Do not lie to one another, since you ^(M)stripped off the old ^[g]self with its evil practices, ¹⁰ and have ^(N)put on the new self, which is being ^[h](O)renewed to a true knowledge ^(P)according to the image of the One who ^(Q)created it— ¹¹ a renewal in which ^(R)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^(S)circumcised and uncircumcised, ^[i](T)barbarian, ^[j]Scythian, ^(U)slave, and free, but ^(V)Christ is all, and in all.

¹² So, as those who have been ^(W)chosen of God, holy and beloved, ^(X)put on a ^(Y)heart of compassion, kindness, ^(Z)humility, gentleness, and ^[k](AA)patience; ^13 (AB)bearing with one another, and ^(AC)forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; ^(AD)just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. ¹⁴ In addition to all these things put on love, which is ^[l](AE)the perfect bond of ^(AF)unity. ¹⁵ Let ^(AG)the peace of Christ, to which you were ^[m]indeed called in ^(AH)one body, ^[n]rule in your hearts; and ^[o]be thankful.
