Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
All Commentaries on Colossians 3:5 Go To Colossians 3
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
He demonstrates, too, to the Colossians what "members "they are to "mortify "upon earth: "fornication, impurity, lust, evil concupiscence "and "base talk."
