Colossians 3:5-9

5 1Therefore, 2treat 3the parts of your earthly body as dead to 4sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which 5amounts to idolatry.

6For it is because of these things that 6the wrath of God is coming 7upon the 8sons of disobedience,

7and 9in them you also once walked, when you were living 10in them.

8But now you also, 11rid yourselves of all of them: 12anger, wrath, malice, slander, and 13obscene speech from your mouth.

9 14 15Do not lie to one another, since you 16stripped off the old 17self with its evil practices,
