Colossians 3:3-16

3For you have 1diedG599 and your lifeG2222 is hiddenG2928 with ChristG5547 in GodG2316. 4WhenG3752 ChristG5547, 2who is our lifeG2222, is revealedG5319, 3thenG5119 you alsoG2532 will be revealedG5319 with Him in gloryG1391.

54ThereforeG3767 5considerG3499 6the membersG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body as deadG3499 to 78immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 9amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 10the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 will comeG2064 11upon the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 12in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 13in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 14putG659 them allG3956 asideG659: 15angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 16abusiveG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 91718Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 19laidG554 asideG554 the oldG3820 20selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 21putG1746 on the newG3501 selfG3501 who is being 2223renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 24accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 25createdG2936 him-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 26thereG1762 is noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 27circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 2829barbarianG915, ScythianG4658, 30slaveG1401 and freemanG1658, but 31ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 32chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 33putG1746 on a 34heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 35humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240 and 3637patienceG3115; 1338bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 39forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 40justG2531 as the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 alsoG2532 should you. 14BeyondG1909 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 put on loveG26, whichG3739 is 4142the perfectG5047 bondG4886 of 43unityG4886. 15Let 44the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547 45ruleG1018 in your heartsG2588, to whichG3739 46indeedG2532 you were calledG2564 in 47oneG1520 bodyG4983; and 48be thankfulG2170. 16Let 49the wordG3056 of 50ChristG5547 richlyG4146 dwellG1774 withinG1722 you, 51with allG3956 wisdomG4678 52teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 53oneG1438 anotherG1438 54with psalmsG5568 and hymnsG5215 and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, 55singingG103 56with thankfulnessG5485 in your heartsG2588 to GodG2316.
