1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Galatians
12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,
25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
