Colossians 3

¹ If, then, you were roused together with Christ, be seeking that which is above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. ² Be disposed to that which is above, not to that on the earth, ³ for you died, and your life is hid together with Christ in God. ⁴ Whenever Christ, our Life, should be manifested, then you also shall be manifested together with Him in glory. ⁵ Deaden, then, your members that are on the earth: prostitution, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry, ⁶ because of which the indignation of God is coming on the sons of stubborness ⁷ among whom you also once walked, when you lived in these things. ⁸ Yet now you also be putting away all these: anger, fury, malice, calumny, obscenity out of your mouth. ⁹ Do no lie to one another, stripping off the old humanity together with its practices, ¹⁰ and putting on the young, which is being renewed into recognition, to accord with the Image of the One Who creates it, ¹¹ wherein there is no Greek and Jew, Circumcision and Uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman, but all and in all is Christ. ¹² Put on, then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, pitiful compassions, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, ¹³ bearing with one another and dealing graciously among yourselves, if anyone should be having a complaint against any. According as the Lord also deals graciously with you, thus also you. ¹⁴ Now over all these put on love, which is the tie of maturity. ¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ be arbitrating in your hearts, for which you were called also in one body; and become thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ be making its home in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves; in psalms, in hymns, in spiritual songs, singing, with grace in your hearts to God. ¹⁷ And everything, whatsoever you may be doing, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God, the Father, through Him. ¹⁸ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your own wives and be not bitter toward them. ²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing in the Lord. ²¹ Fathers, do not vex your children, lest they may be disheartened. ²² Slaves, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-slavery, as manpleasers, but with singleness of heart, fearing the Lord. ²³ All, whatsoever you may be doing, work from the soul, as to the Lord and not to men, ²⁴ Being aware that from the Lord you will be getting the compensation of the enjoyment of an allotment: for the Lord Christ are you slaving. ²⁵ For he who is injuring shall be requited for that which he injures, and there is no partiality.
