COLOSSIANS CHAPTER III

IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things 
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the 
right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on 
things on earth. 
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with 
Christ in God. 
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then 
shall ye also appear with him in glory. 
5 Mortify therefore your members which are 
upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate
affection, and evil concupiscence, and covetousness, 
which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh 
on the children of disobedience. 
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when 
ye lived in them. 
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, 
wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out 
of your mouth. 
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have 
put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed
in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision 
or uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, 
bond nor free: But Christ is all, and in all. .
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy 
and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness
of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
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.
14 And above all these things put on charity, 
which is the bond of perfectness. 
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. 
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. 
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. 
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own 
husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter
against them. 
20 Children, obey your parents in all things 
for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. 
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger
lest they be discouraged. 
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according 
to the flesh; not with eye-service, as menpleasers; 
but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to 
the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive 
the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the 
Lord Christ. 
25 But he that doeth wrong, shall receive for 
the wrong which he hath done: and there is no 
respect of persons.
