1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on 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 hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. 7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them, 8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. 9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, 10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, 11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you 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, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

17 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 don’t be bitter against them.

20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.

22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. 23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

1 If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things {which are} above, where the Christ is, sitting at {the} right hand of God:2 have your mind on the things {that are} above, not on the things {that are} on the earth;3 for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.4 When the Christ is manifested who {is} our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory.5 Put to death therefore your members which {are} upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.6 On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.7 In which *ye* also once walked when ye lived in these things.8 But now, put off, *ye* also, all {these} things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,10 and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to {the} image of him that has created him;11 wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ {is} everything, and in all.12 Put on therefore, as {the} elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also {do} *ye*.14 And to all these {add} love, which is the bond of perfectness.15 And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.16 Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.17 And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, {do} all things in {the} name of {the} Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.18 Wives, be subject to {your} husbands, as is fitting in {the} Lord.19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in {the} Lord.21 Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.22 Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.23 Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as {doing it} to the Lord, and not to men;24 knowing that of {the} Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.25 For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
