5. So put to death the parts of your life that belong to the earth, such as sexual immorality, moral corruption, lust, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).
6. The wrath of God is coming upon disobedient people because of these things.
7. You used to live this way, when you were alive to these things.
8. But now set aside these things, such as anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene language.
9. Don’t lie to each other. Take off the old human nature with its practices
10. and put on the new nature, which is renewed in knowledge by conforming to the image of the one who created it.
11. In this image there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all things and in all people.
12. Therefore, as God’s choice, holy and loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
