| 3:1 |
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. |
|
|
|
| 3:2 |
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. |
|
|
|
| 3:3 |
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. |
|
|
|
| 3:4 |
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. |
|
|
|
| 3:5 |
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: |
|
|
|
| 3:6 |
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: |
|
|
|
| 3:7 |
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. |
|
|
|
| 3:8 |
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. |
|
|
|
| 3:9 |
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; |
|
|
|
| 3:10 |
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: |
|
|
|
| 3:11 |
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. |
|
|
|
| 3:12 |
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; |
|
|
|
| 3:13 |
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. |
|
|
|
| 3:14 |
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. |
|
|
|
| 3:15 |
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. |
|
|
|
| 3:16 |
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. |
|
|
|
| 3:17 |
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. |
|
|
|
| 3:18 |
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. |
|
|
|
| 3:19 |
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. |
|
|
|
| 3:20 |
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. |
|
|
|
| 3:21 |
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. |
|
|
|
| 3:22 |
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: |
|
|
|
| 3:23 |
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; |
|
|
|
| 3:24 |
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. |
|
|
|
| 3:25 |
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. |
