3 Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God.
4 Christ is your life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.
5 So put all evil things out of your life: sexual sinning, doing evil, letting evil thoughts control you, wanting things that are evil, and greed. This is really serving a false god.
6 These things make God angry.
7 In your past, evil life you also did these things.
8 But now also put these things out of your life: anger, bad temper, doing or saying things to hurt others, and using evil words when you talk.
9 Do not lie to each other. You have left your old sinful life and the things you did before.
