The Apostle Paul is urging believers to actively discard behaviors that are inconsistent with their new identity in Christ. The use of "put aside" suggests a deliberate and conscious effort, akin to taking off old, dirty clothes. This imagery is consistent with other Pauline writings, such as <a href="/ephesians/4-22.htm">Ephesians 4:22-24</a>, where believers are encouraged to put off the old self and put on the new self. The urgency of "now" emphasizes the immediate need for transformation in the believer's life.anger, Anger, in this context, refers to a deep-seated, smoldering bitterness. It is an emotion that can lead to sin if not controlled, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/4-26.htm">Ephesians 4:26-27</a>, where Paul advises not to let the sun go down on one's anger. The Bible acknowledges that God Himself can be righteously angry, but human anger often leads to unrighteousness. <a href="/james/1-19.htm">James 1:19-20</a> further advises believers to be slow to anger, as human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.rage, Rage is an intense, explosive outburst of anger. It is more violent and uncontrolled than anger and can lead to destructive actions. The Greek word used here is "thumos," which conveys a sense of fury or wrath. This type of behavior is contrary to the fruit of the Spirit, which includes self-control (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>). The destructive nature of rage is evident in biblical narratives, such as Cain's rage leading to the murder of Abel (<a href="/genesis/4-5.htm">Genesis 4:5-8</a>).malice, Malice involves harboring ill will or the desire to harm others. It is a deliberate intention to cause pain or distress. This attitude is antithetical to the love and forgiveness that Christians are called to exhibit, as seen in <a href="/1_peter/2.htm">1 Peter 2:1</a>, where believers are urged to rid themselves of all malice. Malice is often the root of other sins, such as slander and deceit, and is incompatible with the new life in Christ.slander, Slander involves speaking false or damaging statements about others. It is a violation of the commandment against bearing false witness (<a href="/exodus/20-16.htm">Exodus 20:16</a>) and is condemned throughout Scripture. In the New Testament, slander is listed among the sins that defile a person (<a href="/mark/7-21.htm">Mark 7:21-23</a>). Believers are called to speak truthfully and lovingly, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/4-15.htm">Ephesians 4:15</a>, where Paul encourages speaking the truth in love.and filthy language from your lips. Filthy language refers to obscene, abusive, or vulgar speech. Such language is inconsistent with the purity and holiness that God desires for His people. <a href="/ephesians/4-29.htm">Ephesians 4:29</a> advises believers to let no corrupting talk come out of their mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. The transformation of speech is a reflection of the heart's transformation, as Jesus taught that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (<a href="/matthew/12-34.htm">Matthew 12:34</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a> The author of the letter to the Colossians, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological teachings. 2. <a href="/topical/c/colossae.htm">Colossae</a> An ancient city in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) where the recipients of this letter resided.

The thought of the death of the old life gives place to that of the divesting of the old habit; the new life wears a new dress, Mark the triumphant emphasis in "but now!" (opposed to the "once" of ver. 8), characteristic of the writer (comp. <a href="/colossians/1.htm">Colossians 1</a>, 21, 26; <a href="/romans/3-21.htm">Romans 3:21</a>; <a href="/romans/6-22.htm">Romans 6:22</a>, etc.). Τὰ πάντα ("all these things," "the whole" of them) summarizes the vices specified in ver. 5, and forms the starting point of another series, in which malice predominates, as impurity in the previous list; anger, wrath, malice, evil speaking, foul speech from your mouth (<a href="/ephesians/4-26.htm">Ephesians 4:26-31</a>; <a href="/ephesians/5-4.htm">Ephesians 5:4</a>; <a href="/romans/1-29.htm">Romans 1:29-31</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/6-10.htm">1 Corinthians 6:10</a>; <a href="/galatians/5-20.htm">Galatians 5:20, 21</a>; <a href="/titus/3-3.htm">Titus 3:3</a>). There is a similar order and division between these two chief classes of sin in the parallel passages. In <a href="/ephesians/4-31.htm">Ephesians 4:31, 32</a> and Ephesians 5:3-5 the order is reversed. "Anger" (ὀργή) is ascribed to God in ver. 6 (comp. <a href="/ephesians/4-26.htm">Ephesians 4:26</a>; <a href="/hebrews/10-30.htm">Hebrews 10:30</a>). (On "anger" and "wrath" (or "rage"), see ver. 6.) The latter is once ascribed to God by St. Paul (<a href="/romans/2-8.htm">Romans 2:8</a>), more frequently in the Apocalypse. In man it is universally condemned. (For κακία, malignity, badness of disposition, comp. <a href="/romans/1-29.htm">Romans 1:29</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/14-20.htm">1 Corinthians 14:20</a>; <a href="/titus/3-3.htm">Titus 3:3</a>; see Trench's 'Synonyms.') Βλασφημία, in its original sense, includes injurious speech of any kind, either against man or God (see <a href="/romans/3-8.htm">Romans 3:8</a>; <a href="/romans/14-16.htm">Romans 14:16</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/10-30.htm">1 Corinthians 10:30</a>; <a href="/titus/3-2.htm">Titus 3:2</a>). Αἰσχρὸς in αἰσχρολογία (only here in the New Testament) denotes, like the English "foul," either "scurrilous" or "filthy." The former kind of speech is suggested by the foregoing blasphemia; but especially in such an atmosphere as that of Greek city life, scurrility commonly runs into filthiness. In <a href="/ephesians/5-4.htm">Ephesians 5:4</a>, where a slightly different word occurs, the latter idea is prominent. The two last vices, being sins of speech, must be put away "out of your mouth." "Your" bears the emphasis in the Greek; such utterance is quite unfit for a Christian mouth (comp. <a href="/ephesians/4-29.htm">Ephesians 4:29</a>; <a href="/ephesians/5-3.htm">Ephesians 5:3, 4</a>; <a href="/james/3-10.htm">James 3:10</a>; and the prohibition of lying in the next verse). <a href="/commentaries/colossians/3-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. now νυνὶ (nyni) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_3570.htm">Strong's 3570: </a> A prolonged form of nun for emphasis; just now. you ὑμεῖς (hymeis) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Nominative 2nd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_4771.htm">Strong's 4771: </a> You.
