Colossians 3:9 meaning and explanation
Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,
Colossians 3:9, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul writes to the believers in Colossae, a congregation he had not visited, urging them to live out the new life they received in Christ. In verse 9 he forbids lying to one another, then grounds the command in what has already happened: they "took off" the old self, pictured as a garment laid aside, along with its habits.
