Colossians 3:1-13

1ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 you have been 1raisedG4891 up with ChristG5547, keep seekingG2212 the things aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 is, 2seatedG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316. 234SetG5426 your mindG5426 on the things aboveG507, not on the things that are on earthG1093. 3For you have 5diedG599 and your lifeG2222 is hiddenG2928 with ChristG5547 in GodG2316. 4WhenG3752 ChristG5547, 6who is our lifeG2222, is revealedG5319, 7thenG5119 you alsoG2532 will be revealedG5319 with Him in gloryG1391.

58ThereforeG3767 9considerG3499 10the membersG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body as deadG3499 to 1112immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 13amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 14the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 will comeG2064 15upon the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 16in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 17in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 18putG659 them allG3956 asideG659: 19angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 20abusiveG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 92122Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 23laidG554 asideG554 the oldG3820 24selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 25putG1746 on the newG3501 selfG3501 who is being 2627renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 28accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 29createdG2936 him-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 30thereG1762 is noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 31circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 3233barbarianG915, ScythianG4658, 34slaveG1401 and freemanG1658, but 35ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 36chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 37putG1746 on a 38heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 39humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240 and 4041patienceG3115; 1342bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 43forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 44justG2531 as the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 alsoG2532 should you.
