Charles Spurgeon Commentary Colossians 3:6-7

"for which things` sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;" — Colossians 3:6-7 (ASV)

For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

This was true of the Colossians, and it was true of almost all those to whom Paul wrote, for these gross evils were scarcely regarded as sins in his time, so polluted had the nations become. I hope that, in the case of many now living, they have been preserved by Christian training from having walked even for a time in such sins.
