Here is the Greek Interlinear for Colossians 3 for reference:

I realized my explanation of verse 11 took away and added words, and therefore was off. It missed the simple exhortations in verses 1-9 including “do not lie to one another”, an obvious take away. I’ve been trying to understand and apply this part of Colossians my whole Christian life, and am struggling with it.
Help, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit! Others have a better explanation for Paul’s point here?
