Colossians 3:5-11 - Put Off The Old Behavior
5 Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations--fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry. 6 It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming, 7 and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power. 8 But now you must rid yourselves of every kind of sin--angry and passionate outbreaks, ill-will, evil speaking, foul-mouthed abuse--so that these may never soil your lips. 9 Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings, 10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it. 11 In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us.
