1 If then you{+} were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.2 Set your{+} mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.3 For you{+} died, and your{+} life is hid with Christ in God.4 When Christ will be manifested, [who is] your{+} life, then you{+} will also be manifested with him in glory.5 Put to death therefore your{+} members which are on the earth: fornication, impurity, immoral sexual passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry;6 because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience:7 in which you{+} also once walked, when you{+} lived in these things;8 but now do you{+} also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your{+} mouth:9 do not lie one to another; seeing that you{+} have put off the old man with his activities,10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed to knowledge after the image of him who created him:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all things, and in all.12 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, long-suffering;13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you{+}, so also [should] you{+}:14 and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your{+} hearts, to the which you{+} also were called in one body; and be{+} thankful.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 to God.17 And whatever you{+} do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.18 Wives, be in subjection to your{+} husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.19 Husbands, love your{+} wives, and do not be bitter against them.20 Children, obey your{+} parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.21 Fathers, do not provoke your{+} children, that they not be discouraged.22 Slaves, obey in all things those who are your{+} masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:23 whatever you{+} do, work heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;24 knowing that from the Lord you{+} will receive the recompense of the inheritance: you{+} serve as slaves to the Lord Christ.25 For he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
