51ThereforeG3767, 2treatG3499 3the partsG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body asG3499 deadG3499 to 4sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 5amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 6the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is comingG2064 7upon the 8sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 9in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 10in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 11ridG659 yourselves ofG659 allG3956 of them: 12angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 13obsceneG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 91415Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 16strippedG554 offG554 the oldG3820 17selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 18putG1746 onG1746 the newG3501 self, which is being 1920renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 21accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 22createdG2936 it-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 23thereG1762 isG1762 noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 24circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 2526barbarianG915, 27ScythianG4658, 28slaveG1401, and freeG1658, but 29ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 30chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 31putG1746 onG1746 a 32heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 33humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240, and 3435patienceG3115; 1336bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 37forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 38justG2531 asG2531 the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 must you do alsoG2532. 14In additionG1909 to allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 put on loveG26, whichG3739 is 3940the perfectG5047 bondG4886 ofG4886 41unityG4886. 15Let 42the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547, to whichG3739 you were 43indeedG2532 calledG2564 in 44oneG1520 bodyG4983, 45ruleG1018 in your heartsG2588; and 46be thankfulG2170. 16Let 47the wordG3056 of 48ChristG5547 richlyG4146 dwellG1774 withinG1722 you, 49with allG3956 wisdomG4678 50teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 51oneG1438 anotherG1438 52with psalmsG5568, hymnsG5215, and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, 53singingG103 with thankfulnessG5485 in your heartsG2588 to GodG2316. 1754WhateverG3956 you doG4160 in wordG3056 orG2228 deedG2041, do everythingG3956 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, 55givingG2168 thanksG2168 throughG1223 Him to GodG2316 the FatherG3962.

1856WivesG1135, 57beG5293 subjectG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fittingG433 in the LordG2962. 1958HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135 and do not becomeG4087 bitterG4087 againstG4314 them. 2059ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in everythingG3956, for thisG3778 is pleasingG2101 60to the LordG2962. 2161FathersG3962, do not 62antagonizeG2042 your childrenG5043, soG2443 thatG2443 they will not becomeG120 discouragedG120.

226364SlavesG1401, obeyG5219 thoseG3588 who are your 65humanG4561 mastersG2962 in everythingG3956, 66not with 67eye-serviceG3787, as people-pleasersG441, but with sincerityG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962. 23WhateverG3739G1437 you doG4160, doG2038 your workG2038 68heartilyG5590, 69as for the LordG2962 and not for peopleG444, 2470knowingG3609 that it is from the LordG2962 that you will receiveG618 the rewardG469 71of 72the inheritanceG2817. It is the LordG2962 ChristG5547 whom you 73serveG1398. 25For 74the one who doesG91 wrongG91 will receiveG2865 the consequences of the wrongG91 whichG3739 he has doneG91, and 7576that withoutG3756 partialityG4382.
