Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: |
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. |
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality (fornication), impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to (is) idolatry. |
|
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. |
So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God). |
By a once-for-all act, and at once, put to death your members which are upon the earth: fornication, impurity, depraved passion, wicked craving, and avarice, which is of such a nature as to be idolatry. |
|
Consider yourselves dead to worldly contacts: have nothing to do with sexual immorality, dirty-mindedness, uncontrolled passion, evil desire, and the lust for other people’s goods, which amounts to idolatry. |
So once for all put to death your lower, earthly nature with respect to sexual immorality, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is real idolatry. |
Mortify 3499 therefore 3767 your 5216 members 3196 which 3588 are upon 1909 the 3588 earth; 1093 fornication, 4202 uncleanness, 167 inordinate affection, 3806 evil 2556 concupiscence, 1939 and 2532 covetousness, 4124 which 3748 is 2076 idolatry: 1495 |
