John Calvin on Colossians 3:4

4. But when Christ, our life, shall appear. Here we have a choice consolation — that the coming of Christ will be the manifestation of our life. And, at the same time, he admonishes us how unreasonable were the disposition of the man, who should refuse to bear up “D’endurer et attendre;” — “To endure and wait.” until that day. For if our life is shut up in Christ, it must be hid, until he shall appear

Colossians 3:5-8

5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

5. Mortificate igitur membra vestra, quae sunt super terram, scortationem, immunditiem, mollitiem, concupiscentiam malam, et avaritiam, quae est idololatria.

6. For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

6. Propter quae venit ira Dei in filios inobedientiae;

7. In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

7. In quibus vos quoque ambulabatis aliquando, quum viveretis in illis.

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

8. Nunc autem deponite et vos omnia, iram, indignationem, malitiam, maledicentiam, turpiloquentiam ex ore vestro.
