12 ⁱThe night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the ^jworks of darkness and ^kput on the armor of light.

22 to ^wput off your ^xold self,¹ which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,

8 But ⁿnow you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the ^limplanted word, which is able to save your souls.

A Living Stone and a Holy People

1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
