⁵So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. ⁶Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.#3:6 Some manuscripts read is coming on all who disobey him. ⁷You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. ⁸But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. ⁹Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. ¹⁰Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. ¹¹In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile,#3:11a Greek a Greek. circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized,#3:11b Greek Barbarian, Scythian. slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
