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