Colossians

3 If therefore ye have been raised together with the Christ The things on high be seeking Where the Christ is—On the right hand of God sitting;

2 The things on high hold in esteem, Not the things upon the earth:

3 For ye have died, And your life is hid together with the Christ in God,—

4 As soon as the Christ shall be made manifest—Our life Then ye also together with him shall be made manifest in glory;

5 Make dead therefore your members that are on the earth—As regardeth fornication, impurity, passion, base coveting and greed, the which is idolatry,—

6 On account of which things cometh the anger of God,—

7 Wherein ye also walked at one time when ye were living in these things;

8 But now do ye also put them all away,—Anger, wrath, baseness, defamation, shameful talk out of your mouth:

9 Be not guilty of falsehood one to another: Having stript off the old man together with his practices,

10 And having put on the new—Who is being moulded afresh unto personal knowledge, After the image of him that hath created him,—

11 Wherein there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, bond, free,—But all things and in all Christ:

12 Put on therefore as men chosen of God holy and beloved Tender affections of compassion, graciousness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering,

13 Bearing one with another and in favour forgiving one another—if any against any have a complaint,—According as the Lord in favour forgave you so also ye;

14 And over all these things love, Which is a uniting-bond of completeness;

15 And let the peace of Christ act as umpire in your hearts,—Unto which ye have been called in [one] body And be thankful:

16 Let the word of the Christ dwell within you richly,—In all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, With gratitude raising song with your hearts unto God:

17 And whatsoever ye may be doing in word or in work All things [do] in the name of the Lord Jesus, Giving thanks unto the Divine Father through him:—

18 Ye wives! be submitting yourselves unto your husbands as is becoming in the Lord;

19 Ye husbands! be loving your wives and be not embittered against them;

20 Ye children! be obedient unto your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing in the Lord;

21 Ye fathers! be not irritating your children, lest they be disheartened;

22 Ye servants! be obedient in all things unto them who according to the flesh are your masters,—Not with eye-service as man-pleasers, But with singleness of heart revering the Lord,—

23 Whatsoever ye may be doing From the soul be working at it, As unto the Lord and not unto men,—

24 Knowing that from the Lord ye shall duly receive the recompense of the inheritance,—Unto the Lord Christ are ye in service;

25 For he that acteth unrighteously shall get back what he had unrighteously done, and there is no respect of persons;
