Colossians 3:5-15

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Colossians 3:5-15

5Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.
6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
7When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.
8But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
9Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,
10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.
12Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
13Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
— Colossians 3:5-15
