Colossians 3

1If thenG3767 ye wereG1510 raised together with ChristG5547, seekG2212 the things that areG1510 above, whereG3757 ChristG5547 isG1510, seated on the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316. 2Set your mindG5426 on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earthG1093. 3For ye diedG599, and your lifeG2222 is hidG2928 with ChristG5547 in GodG2316. 4WhenG3752 ChristG5547, who is our lifeG2222, shall be manifestedG5319, then shall ye alsoG2532 with him be manifestedG5319 in gloryG1391.

5Put to death thereforeG3767 your membersG3196 which areG1510 upon the earthG1093: fornication, uncleanness, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and covetousnessG4124, which isG1510 idolatryG1495; 6for which things’ sakeG1223 cometh the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 upon the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543: 7wherein ye alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 ye livedG2198 in these thingsG3778; 8but nowG1161 do ye alsoG2532 putG659 them all away: angerG3709, wrathG3709, maliceG2549, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouthG4750: 9lieG5574 not oneG240 to another; seeing that ye have put off the oldG3820 manG444 with his doings, 10and have putG1746 on the newG3501 man, that is being renewedG341 unto knowledgeG1922 after the imageG1504 of him that created him: 11whereG3699 there cannot be GreekG1672 and JewG2453, circumcisionG4061 and uncircumcisionG203, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but ChristG5547 is all, and in all.

12PutG1746 on thereforeG3767, as God’s electG1588, holyG40 and belovedG25, a heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13forbearing oneG240 another, and forgivingG5483 each otherG240, if any man have a complaint against any; evenG2532 as the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, so alsoG2532 do ye: 14and above all these thingsG3778 put on loveG26, which isG1510 the bondG4886 of perfectness. 15And let the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547 rule in your heartsG2588, to the which alsoG2532 ye were calledG2564 in oneG1520 bodyG4983; and be ye thankful. 16Let the wordG3056 of ChristG5547 dwellG1774 in you richlyG4146; in all wisdomG4678 teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 one another with psalmsG5568 and hymnsG5215 and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 with graceG5485 in your heartsG2588 unto GodG2316. 17And whatsoever ye do, in wordG3056 or in deedG2041, do all in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, givingG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 the FatherG3962 through him.

18WivesG1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fitting in the LordG2962. 19HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135, and be not bitterG4087 against them. 20ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in all thingsG3778, for this isG1510 well-pleasingG2101 in the LordG2962. 21FathersG3962, provoke not your childrenG5043, that they be not discouraged. 22ServantsG1401, obeyG5219 in all thingsG3956 them that are your mastersG2962 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962: 23whatsoever ye do, workG2038 heartily, as unto the LordG2962, and not unto menG444; 24knowing that from the LordG2962 ye shall receiveG618 the recompense of the inheritanceG2817: ye serveG1398 the LordG2962 ChristG5547. 25For he that doeth wrongG91 shall receiveG2865 again for the wrongG91 that he hath done: and there isG1510 no respect of persons.
