1 If therefore ye were raised with the Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
2 Think on the things above, not the things on the earth.
3 For ye died, and your life has been hidden with the Christ in God.
4 When the Christ, our life, is made known, then ye also will be made known with him in glory.
5 Put to death therefore your body-parts on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.
6 Because of which the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience,
7 in which ye also once walked when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also, put off all these things: anger, wrath, wickedness, reviling, filthy speaking out of your mouth.
9 Do not lie to each other, having stripped off the old man with his practices,
10 and having put on the new man, being renewed in knowledge according to an image of him who created him,
11 where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman, but the all and in all, Christ.
12 Put on therefore, as chosen men of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, humility, mildness, longsuffering,
13 forbearing each other, and forgiving yourselves, if any man has a complaint against any, just as also the Christ forgave you, so also ye,
14 and above all these things, love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 And let the peace of God umpire in your hearts, for which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing by grace in your hearts to God.
17 And all things, anything whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus, expressing thanks to the God and Father through him.
18 Wives, be ye submissive to your own husbands as is proper in Lord.
19 Husbands, love the wives and do not be made bitter against them.
20 Children, obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in Lord.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they may not be discouraged.
22 Bondmen, obey in all things those masters according to flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.
23 And all things, anything whatever ye may do, work from soul as to the Lord and not to men,
24 knowing that from Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 And he who does wrong will be recompensed what he did wrong, and there is no partiality.
1 If ye be then rysen agayne with christ seke those thynges which are above where Christ sitteth on the right honde of god.
2 Set youre affeccion on thynges yt are above and not on thinges which are on ye erth.
3 For ye are deed and youre lyfe is hid with Christ in god.
4 When Christ which is oure lyfe shall shewe him silfe then shall ye also appere with him in glory.
5 Mortifie therfore youre membres which are on the erth fornicacio vnclennes vnnaturall lust evyll cocupiscece and coveteousnes which is worshippynge of ydols:
6 for which thynges sakes the wrath of God cometh on the chyldren of vnbeleve.
7 In which thynges ye walked once. when ye lived in them.
8 But now put ye also awaye from you all thynges wrath fearsnes maliciousnes cursed speakynge filthy speakynge out of youre mouthes.
9 Lye not one to another that the olde man with his workes be put of
10 and the new put on which is renued in knowledge after the ymage of him that made him
11 where is nether gentile ner Iewe circumcision nor vncircumcision Barbarous or Sithian bonde or fre: but Christe is all in all thynges.
12 Now therfore as electe of god holy and beloved put on tender mercie kyndnes humblenes of myndes meknes longe sufferynge
13 forbearynge one another and forgevynge one another if eny man have a quarrell to a nother even as Christ forgave you even so do ye.
14 Above all these thinges put on love which is the bonde of parfectnes.
15 And ye peace of god rule in youre hertes to ye which peace ye are called in one body. And se that ye be thankfull.
16 Let the worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdome. Teache and exhorte youre awne selves in psalmes and hymnes and spretuall songes which have favour wt them syngynge in youre hertes to the lorde.
17 And all thynges (whatsoever ye do in worde or dede) do in the name of the lorde Iesu gevinge thakes to god the father by him.
18 Wyves submit youre selves vnto youre awne husbandes as it is comly in the Lorde.
19 Husbandes love youre wyves and be not bitter vnto them.
20 Children obey youre fathers and mothers in all thinges for that is wel pleasynge vnto the lorde.
21 Fathers rate not youre children lest they be of a desperate mynde.
22 Servauntes be obedient vnto youre bodyly masters in all thynges: not with eye service as men pleasers but in synglenes of herte fearynge god.
23 And whatsoever ye do do it hertely as though ye did it to the lorde and not vnto men for as moche as ye
24 knowe that of the lorde ye shall receave the rewarde of inheritaunce for ye serve the lorde Christ.
25 But he that doth wronge shall receave for the wronge that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons.
