6. Because of these the wrath of God is coming [upon the disobedient].
7. By these you too once conducted yourselves, when you lived in that way.
8. But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths.
9. Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices
10. and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator.
11. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.
12. Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
13. bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
14. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.
15. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.
