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.

5 4ThereforeG3767, 5treatG3499 6the partsG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body asG3499 deadG3499 to 7sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 8amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 9the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is comingG2064 10upon the 11sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 12in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 13in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 14ridG659 yourselves ofG659 allG3956 of them: 15angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 16obsceneG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 9 17 18Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 19strippedG554 offG554 the oldG3820 20selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 21putG1746 onG1746 the newG3501 self, which is being 22 23renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 24accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 25createdG2936 it-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 26thereG1762 isG1762 noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 27circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 28 29barbarianG915, 30ScythianG4658, 31slaveG1401, and freeG1658, but 32ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 33chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 34putG1746 onG1746 a 35heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 36humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240, and 37 38patienceG3115; 13 39bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 40forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437 G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 41justG2531 asG2531 the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 must you do alsoG2532. 14In additionG1909 to allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 put on loveG26, whichG3739 is 42 43the perfectG5047 bondG4886 ofG4886 44unityG4886. 15Let 45the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547, to whichG3739 you were 46indeedG2532 calledG2564 in 47oneG1520 bodyG4983, 48ruleG1018 in your heartsG2588; and 49be thankfulG2170. 16Let 50the wordG3056 of 51ChristG5547 richlyG4146 dwellG1774 withinG1722 you, 52with allG3956 wisdomG4678 53teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 54oneG1438 anotherG1438 55with psalmsG5568, hymnsG5215, and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, 56singingG103 with thankfulnessG5485 in your heartsG2588 to GodG2316.
