Colossians 3:5-11

Raised with Christ: Putting Off the Old Life and Putting On the New

Paul moves from the believer's risen identity with Christ, to killing the old earthly life, to putting on the new humanity, to corporate peace, word-shaped worship, thankful living, household order, and work done under the lordship of Christ.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5 Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.

6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

7 When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.

8 But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

9 Do not lie 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 in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.
