Colossians 3:1-17

3:1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

3:2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3:3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

3:4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

3:5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

3:6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

3:7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

3:8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

3:9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

3:10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

3:11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

3:12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

3:13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

3:14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

3:15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

3:16Let 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.

3:17And 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.
