Colossians 3:5-15

5Therefore, put to death what is earthly in you—sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed—for that is idolatry.

6Because of such things God’s wrath is coming upon the sons of disobedience.

7At one time you also walked in these ways, when you used to live in these ways.

8But now, set them all aside—anger, rage, malice, slander, and foul language out of your mouth.

9Do not lie to one another. After all, you have taken off the old self with its practices

10and have put on the new self that is being renewed in knowledge, according to the image of the One who created him.

11Here there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, savage, slave and free; but Messiah is all, and in all.

12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves in tender compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience—

13bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord pardoned you, so also you must pardon others.

14But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfect harmony.

15Let the shalom of Messiah rule in your hearts—to this shalom you were surely called in one body. Also be thankful.
