Mortifie therefore your members which are vpon the earth: fornication, vncleannesse, inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnesse, which is idolatrie:

For which things sake, the wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience,

In the which yee also walked sometime, when ye liued in them.

But now you also put off all these, anger, wrath, malice, blasphemie, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the old man with his deedes:

And haue put on the new man, which is renued in knowledge, after the image of him that created him,

Where there is neither Greeke, nor Iew, circumcision, nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Put on therefore (as the elect of God, holy and beloued) bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering,

Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarrell against any: euen as Christ forgaue you, so also doe yee.

And aboue all these things put on charitie, which is the bond of perfectnesse.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also yee are called in one body: and be yee thankefull.
