4. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6. For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:

7. In which you also once walked, when you lived in them.

8. But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy talk out of your mouth.

11. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
