Colossians 3:5-25

51ThereforeG3767 2considerG3499 3the membersG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body as deadG3499 to 45immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 6amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 7the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 will comeG2064 8upon the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 9in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 10in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 11putG659 them allG3956 asideG659: 12angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 13abusiveG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 91415Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 16laidG554 asideG554 the oldG3820 17selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 18putG1746 on the newG3501 selfG3501 who is being 1920renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 21accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 22createdG2936 him-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 23thereG1762 is noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 24circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 2526barbarianG915, ScythianG4658, 27slaveG1401 and freemanG1658, but 28ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 29chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 30putG1746 on a 31heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 32humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240 and 3334patienceG3115; 1335bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 36forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 37justG2531 as the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 alsoG2532 should you. 14BeyondG1909 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 put on loveG26, whichG3739 is 3839the perfectG5047 bondG4886 of 40unityG4886. 15Let 41the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547 42ruleG1018 in your heartsG2588, to whichG3739 43indeedG2532 you were calledG2564 in 44oneG1520 bodyG4983; and 45be thankfulG2170. 16Let 46the wordG3056 of 47ChristG5547 richlyG4146 dwellG1774 withinG1722 you, 48with allG3956 wisdomG4678 49teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 50oneG1438 anotherG1438 51with psalmsG5568 and hymnsG5215 and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, 52singingG103 53with thankfulnessG5485 in your heartsG2588 to GodG2316. 1754WhateverG3956 you doG4160 in wordG3056 orG2228 deedG2041, do allG3956 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, 55givingG2168 thanksG2168 throughG1223 Him to GodG2316 the FatherG3962.

1856WivesG1135, 57be subjectG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fittingG433 in the LordG2962. 1958HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135 and do not be embitteredG4087 againstG4314 them. 2059ChildrenG5043, be obedientG5219 to your parentsG1118 in allG3956 thingsG3956, for thisG3778 is well-pleasingG2101 60to the LordG2962. 2161FathersG3962, do not exasperateG2042 your childrenG5043, soG2443 that they will not loseG120 heartG120.

2262SlavesG1401, in allG3956 thingsG3956 obeyG5219 thoseG3588 who are your mastersG2962 63on earthG4561, 64not with 65externalG3787 serviceG3787, as those whoG441 merely pleaseG441 menG441, but with sincerityG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962. 23WhateverG3739G1437 you doG4160, doG2038 your workG2038 66heartilyG5590, 67as for the LordG2962 68ratherG3756 thanG2532G3756 for menG444, 2469knowingG3609 that from the LordG2962 you will receiveG618 the rewardG469 70of 71the inheritanceG2817. It is the LordG2962 ChristG5547 whom you 72serveG1398. 25For 73he who doesG91 wrongG91 will receiveG2865 the consequences of the wrongG91 whichG3739 he has doneG91, and 7475that withoutG3756 partialityG4382.
