| 3:1 |
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
|
| 3:2 |
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
|
| 3:3 |
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
|
| 3:4 |
When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
|
| 3:5 |
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
|
| 3:6 |
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
|
| 3:7 |
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
|
| 3:8 |
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
|
| 3:9 |
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
|
| 3:10 |
And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
|
| 3:11 |
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
|
| 3:12 |
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
|
| 3:13 |
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.
|
| 3:14 |
And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
|
| 3:15 |
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
|
| 3:16 |
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
|
| 3:17 |
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
|
| 3:18 |
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
|
| 3:19 |
Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.
|
| 3:20 |
Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
|
| 3:21 |
Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.
|
| 3:22 |
Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
|
| 3:23 |
And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
|
| 3:24 |
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
|
| 3:25 |
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
