Colossians 3:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Colossians 3:5

3 ^aFor you died, ^band your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 ^aWhen Christ who is ^bour life appears, then you also will appear with Him in ^cglory.

5 ^aTherefore put to death ^byour members which are on the earth: ^cfornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, ^dwhich is idolatry.

6 ^aBecause of these things the wrath of God is coming upon ^bthe sons of disobedience,

7 ^ain which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

8 ^aBut now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,

10 and have put on the new man who ^ais renewed in knowledge ^baccording to the image of Him who ^ccreated him,

11 where there is neither ^aGreek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, ^bbut Christ is all and in all.
