Colossians 3:5-10
[5]Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
[6]For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
[7]In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
[8]But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

[10]And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Be transformed
