4. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
5. So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
6. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.
7. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.
8. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
9. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
