Colossians 3:5-6 Part 2 of 2

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.  

sexual immorality, impurity, lust 
1 Corinthians 6:18  Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11  Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 
2 Corinthians 12:21  I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-4  It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, ...
Hebrews 12:4  Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

evil desires and greed 
Ephesians 5:3  But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 

which is idolatry 
Ephesians 5:5  For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person--such a person is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Romans 6:12  Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Because of these, the wrath of God is coming 
Romans 1:18-19  The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
