COLOSSIANS ยท Chapter 3
3:1 If all of you then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the
earth.
3:3 For all of you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ
in God.
3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall all
of you 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 comes on the children
of disobedience:
3:7 In the which all of you also walked some time, when all of
you lived in them.
3:8 But now all of you also put off all these; anger, wrath,
malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that all of you 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, Savages, 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
all of you.
3:14 And above all these things put on love, which
is the bond of perfection.
3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which
also all of you are called in one body; and be all of you 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 all of you 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 eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart,
fearing God;
3:23 And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men;
3:24 Knowing that of the Lord all of you shall receive the reward
of the inheritance: for all of you serve the Lord Christ.
3:25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which
he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
