Ch. 3
The Wrath of God Comes Against the Deeds of the Flesh
Paul said, "Set your affections (mind) on things above, not on things of the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Mortify (put to death) therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which you also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him" (Col. 3:2, 3, 5-10).
