Colossians 3:3-10

New International Version

³ For you died,^(A) and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is your^[a] life,^(B) appears,^(C) then you also will appear with him in glory.^(D)

⁵ Put to death,^(E) therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:^(F) sexual immorality,^(G) impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,^(H) which is idolatry.^{(I) 6} Because of these, the wrath of God^(J) is coming.^{[b] 7} You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.^{(K) 8} But now you must also rid yourselves^(L) of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,^(M) and filthy language from your lips.^{(N) 9} Do not lie to each other,^(O) since you have taken off your old self^(P) with its practices ¹⁰ and have put on the new self,^(Q) which is being renewed^(R) in knowledge in the image of its Creator.^(S)
