Colossians 3:5-15 — Legacy Standard Bible

⁵^aTherefore, ¹consider ^bthe members of your earthly body as dead to ^csexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry. ⁶On account of these things, ^athe wrath of God is coming ¹upon the sons of disobedience, ⁷and ^ain them you also once walked, when you were living ¹in them. ⁸But now you also, ^alay them all aside: ^bwrath, anger, malice, slander, and ^cabusive speech from your mouth. ⁹¹^,^aDo not lie to one another, since you ^bput off the old man with its evil practices, ¹⁰and have ^aput on the new man who is being ¹^,^brenewed to a full knowledge ^caccording to the image of the One who ^dcreated him— ¹¹a renewal in which ^athere is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^bcircumcised and uncircumcised, ¹^,^cbarbarian, Scythian, ^dslave, and freeman, but ^eChrist is all and in all.

¹²So, as the ^aelect of God, holy and beloved, ^bput on a ^cheart of compassion, kindness, ^dhumility, gentleness, and ¹^,^epatience; ¹³^abearing with one another, and ^bgraciously forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, ^cjust as the Lord graciously forgave you, so also should you. ¹⁴Above all these things put on love, which is ¹^,^athe perfect bond of ^bunity. ¹⁵And let ^athe peace of Christ ¹rule in your hearts, to which ²indeed you were called in ^bone body, and ³be thankful.
