‏ Colossians 3:8

8. But now--that ye are no longer living in them.

ye also--like other believers; answering to "ye also" (Col 3:7) like other unbelievers formerly.

put off--"Do ye also put away all these," namely, those just enumerated, and those which follow [Alford].

anger, wrath--(See on Ep 4:31).

blasphemy--rather, "reviling," "evil-speaking," as it is translated in Ep 4:31.

filthy communication--The context favors the translation, "abusive language," rather than impure conversation. "Foul language" best retains the ambiguity of the original.
