Colossians Chapter 3 (KJV)
undefined
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
undefined
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
undefined
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
undefined
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
undefined
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
undefined
For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
undefined
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
undefined
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
undefined
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
undefined
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
undefined
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
undefined
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
undefined
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
undefined
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
undefined
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
undefined
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
undefined
And what soever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
undefined
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
undefined
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
undefined
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
undefined
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
undefined
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
undefined
And what soever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
undefined
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
undefined
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
