Colossians 3:9-25

912Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 3strippedG554 offG554 the oldG3820 4selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 5putG1746 onG1746 the newG3501 self, which is being 67renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 8accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 9createdG2936 it-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 10thereG1762 isG1762 noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 11circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 1213barbarianG915, 14ScythianG4658, 15slaveG1401, and freeG1658, but 16ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 17chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 18putG1746 onG1746 a 19heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 20humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240, and 2122patienceG3115; 1323bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 24forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 25justG2531 asG2531 the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 must you do alsoG2532. 14In additionG1909 to allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 put on loveG26, whichG3739 is 2627the perfectG5047 bondG4886 ofG4886 28unityG4886. 15Let 29the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547, to whichG3739 you were 30indeedG2532 calledG2564 in 31oneG1520 bodyG4983, 32ruleG1018 in your heartsG2588; and 33be thankfulG2170. 16Let 34the wordG3056 of 35ChristG5547 richlyG4146 dwellG1774 withinG1722 you, 36with allG3956 wisdomG4678 37teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 38oneG1438 anotherG1438 39with psalmsG5568, hymnsG5215, and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, 40singingG103 with thankfulnessG5485 in your heartsG2588 to GodG2316. 1741WhateverG3956 you doG4160 in wordG3056 orG2228 deedG2041, do everythingG3956 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, 42givingG2168 thanksG2168 throughG1223 Him to GodG2316 the FatherG3962.

1843WivesG1135, 44beG5293 subjectG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fittingG433 in the LordG2962. 1945HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135 and do not becomeG4087 bitterG4087 againstG4314 them. 2046ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in everythingG3956, for thisG3778 is pleasingG2101 47to the LordG2962. 2148FathersG3962, do not 49antagonizeG2042 your childrenG5043, soG2443 thatG2443 they will not becomeG120 discouragedG120.

225051SlavesG1401, obeyG5219 thoseG3588 who are your 52humanG4561 mastersG2962 in everythingG3956, 53not with 54eye-serviceG3787, as people-pleasersG441, but with sincerityG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962. 23WhateverG3739G1437 you doG4160, doG2038 your workG2038 55heartilyG5590, 56as for the LordG2962 and not for peopleG444, 2457knowingG3609 that it is from the LordG2962 that you will receiveG618 the rewardG469 58of 59the inheritanceG2817. It is the LordG2962 ChristG5547 whom you 60serveG1398. 25For 61the one who doesG91 wrongG91 will receiveG2865 the consequences of the wrongG91 whichG3739 he has doneG91, and 6263that withoutG3756 partialityG4382.
