- 1. ¶ IF you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
- 2. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth,
- 3. For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
- 4. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.
- 5. ¶ Mortify therefore your earthly members: immorality, uncleanness, intemperate desires, evil lusts, and covetousness; for these are idolatry,
- 6. And it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
- 7. In the past you also lived among these things, and you were perverted by them.
- 8. ¶ But now put off from you all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, foul conversation.
- 9. Do not lie one to another, but put away the old life with all its practices;
- 10. And put on the new life which is renewed in knowledge after the pattern in which it was originally created,
- 11. Where there is neither Jew nor Aramean, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Greek nor barbarian, slave nor freeman; but Christ is all and in all men.
- 12. ¶ Therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on mercy, kindness, gentleness, humbleness of mind, meekness, patience;
- 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another; and if any one has a complaint against his fellow man, just as Christ forgave you, so should you also forgive.
- 14. And with all these things have love, which is the bond of perfection.
- 15. And let the peace of Christ govern your hearts; for that end, you are called in one body; and be thankful to Christ;
- 16. And let his word dwell in you abundantly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
- 17. And whatever you do in word or deed, do it in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
- 18. ¶ Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is appropriate in Christ.
- 19. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter toward them.
- 20. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to our Lord.
- 21. Parents, do not provoke your children, that they may not be discouraged.
- 22. Servants, obey your human masters in all things, not with eyeservice, hypocrites; but with a sincere heart, in reverence for the Lord.
- 23. And whatever you do, do it with your whole soul, as to our Lord and not to men,
- 24. Knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
- 25. But the wrongdoer shall be rewarded according to the wrong which he has done; and there is no respect of persons.
