3 Pois já morrestes, e a vossa vida está escondida com Cristo em Deus.

4 Quando Cristo, [que é] a nossa vida, se manifestar, então também vós vos manifestareis com ele em glória.

5 Portanto, mortificai as partes carnais que há em vós que são terrenas; [são elas] : o pecado sexual, a impureza, a paixão depravada, o desejo maligno, e a ganância, que é idolatria.

6 Por causa delas que a ira de Deus vem sobre os filhos da desobediência.

7 Nessas coisas também vós andastes antes, quando vivíeis nelas.
