Matthew Poole and continuators on Colossians 3:9

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

Here he puts them upon laying aside that vice which violates the ninth Commandment, being opposite to truth in word and work, see Ephes. 4.25. where he doth more fully urge the putting away lying, from the same argument that follows here. A lie being no other than that voluntary expression by word or deed which accords not with the conception of the mind and heart, on purpose to deceive those with whom we do converse. Contrary to the principles of a new creature, because God after whose image he is renewed hates it more than any vice, sith it is contrary to truth and proceeds from the father of lies, Psal. 15.2. & 5, 6. Prov. 12.22. Ioh. 8.44. Rev. 21.8, 27. they who in conversation do mostly Stomach to be told of it, are most ordinarily guilty of it. But the Apostle requires Christians indeed to put way all fraud and falacy in commerce with men and one another (as well as converse with God) that there may be in all due circumstances a just representation of that without, which is conceived within, Eph. 4.15. Iam. 3.14.

The Apostle subjoyns his reason from the parts of Regeneration or Sanctification, viz. (1) Mortification which he reassumes under an elegant metaphor (intimating his solicitude to have the foregoing and the like vices to be wholly laid aside, as much as was possible in this life) borrowed from the putting off old and worn Garments which did as it were crawl with vermine: intimating that if the old Man as, the cause, were put off with loathing, then those inordinate affections and actions which did proceed from it, would also be removed, see on Rom. 6.6, 11. with Ephes. 4.22. if that which was born of the flesh and contrary to the spirit, Ioh. 3.6. with Gal. 5.17. then inordinate affections and lusts, Gal. 5.24.
