8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Now however do put off also you yourselves all [these] things: anger, rage, malice, slander, foul language out of the mouth of you.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

Not do lie to one another having put off the old man with the practices of him

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

do put on therefore, as [the] elect of God holy and beloved, hearts (of compassion, *N(k)O*) kindness, humility, gentleness, [and] patience;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man hath a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

bearing with each other and forgiving each other If anyone against another shall have a complaint; even as also the (Lord *N(K)O*) has forgiven you, so also you;

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Beyond all now these [put on] the love, (which *N(k)O*) is [the] bond of perfect unity.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

And the peace (from Christ *N(K)O*) should rule in the hearts of you, to which also you were called in one body; And thankful do be.
