You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

You were taught not to live the way you used to. You must get rid of your old way of life. That’s because it has been made impure by the desire for things that lead you astray.

to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,

to take off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires,

that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

You took off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires;

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires,

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,

We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech.Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,

You must warn each other every day, while it is still“ today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.

So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.

You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.

With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused.

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.

You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy— their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.

Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done. They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight. They are a disgrace and a stain among you. They delight in deception even as they eat with you in your fellowship meals.

For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value.

Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the godly will last.

When you came to Christ, you were“ circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision— the cutting away of your sinful nature.

If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored— so clean up your life.

“ Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign Lord. Repent, and turn from your sins. Don’t let them destroy you!Put all your rebellion behind you, and find yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O people of Israel?I don’t want you to die, says the Sovereign Lord. Turn back and live!

But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the shameful immorality of the wicked people around him.

All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.

You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion— how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it.

“ Must you come here drunk?” he demanded.“ Throw away your wine!”

You have been deceived by your own pride because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains.‘ Who can ever reach us way up here?’ you ask boastfully.

Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me.

You have been deceived by the fear you inspire in others and by your own pride. You live in a rock fortress and control the mountain heights. But even if you make your nest among the peaks with the eagles, I will bring you crashing down,” says the Lord.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.
