Old Testament

New Testament

Colossians 3:5-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. Therefore put to death the parts of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

6. Because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

7. You also once walked in these, when you lived in them.

8. But now you must also put away all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, and filthy language out of your mouth.

9. Do not lie one to another, since you have put off the old nature with its deeds,

10. and have embraced the new nature, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him who created it,

11. where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

12. So embrace, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a spirit of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering.
