7 Therefore, since we have these promises,+ beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit,+ perfecting holiness in the fear of God.+

8 But now you must put them all away from you: wrath, anger, badness,+ abusive speech,+ and obscene talk+ out of your mouth.

14 As obedient children, stop being molded by* the desires you formerly had in your ignorance,

2 So rid yourselves of all badness+ and deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all backbiting.
