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.
Character of the New Man
12 Therefore, aas the elect of God, holy and beloved, bput on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
13 abearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
14 aBut above all these things bput on love, which is the cbond of perfection.
15 And let athe peace of God rule in your hearts, bto which also you were called cin one body; and dbe thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another ain psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And awhatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
The Christian Home
18 aWives, submit to your own husbands, bas is fitting in the Lord.
19 aHusbands, love your wives and do not be bbitter toward them.
