Colossians 3

1If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.● 2Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.● 3For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.● 4When Christ, `who is' our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.● 5Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;● 6for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:● 7wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;● 8but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:● 9lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,● 10and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:● 11where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.● 12Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;● 13forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:● 14and above all these things `put on' love, which is the bond of perfectness.● 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.● 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms `and' hymns `and' spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.● 17And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, `do' all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.● 18Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.● 19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.● 20Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.● 21Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.● 22Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:● 23whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;● 24knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.● 25For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.●
