[1] If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
[1] ---
[2] Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
[2] ---
[3] For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
[3] ---
[4] When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.
[4] ---
[5] Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
[5] ---
[6] for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:
[6] ---
[7] wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;
[7] ---
[8] but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
[8] ---
[9] lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,
[9] ---
[10] and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:
[10] ---
[11] where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
[11] ---
[12] Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
[12] ---
[13] forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:
[13] ---
[14] and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
[14] ---
[15] And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
[15] ---
[16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.
[16] ---
[17] And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
[17] ---
[18] Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
[18] ---
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
[19] ---
[20] Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
[20] ---
[21] Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.
[21] ---
[22] Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:
[22] ---
[23] whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;
[23] ---
[24] knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.
[24] ---
[25] For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
