Colossians 3:1-13

1ThereforeG3767, ifG1487 you have been 1raisedG4891 with ChristG5547, keep seekingG2212 the things that are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 is, 2seatedG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316. 234SetG5426 your mindsG5426 onG5426 the things that are 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, 9treatG3499 10the partsG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body asG3499 deadG3499 to 11sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 12amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 13the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is comingG2064 14upon the 15sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 16in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 17in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 18ridG659 yourselves ofG659 allG3956 of them: 19angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 20obsceneG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 92122Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 23strippedG554 offG554 the oldG3820 24selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 25putG1746 onG1746 the newG3501 self, which is being 2627renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 28accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 29createdG2936 it-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 30thereG1762 isG1762 noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 31circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 3233barbarianG915, 34ScythianG4658, 35slaveG1401, and freeG1658, but 36ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 37chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 38putG1746 onG1746 a 39heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 40humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240, and 4142patienceG3115; 1343bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 44forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 45justG2531 asG2531 the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 must you do alsoG2532.
