| 1 | | If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. |
| 2 | | Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. |
| 3 | | For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. |
| 4 | | When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. |
| 5 | | Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: |
| 6 | | For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: |
| 7 | | In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. |
| 8 | | But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. |
| 9 | | Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; |
| 10 | | And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: |
| 11 | | Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. |
| 12 | | Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; |
| 13 | | Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. |
| 14 | | And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. |
| 15 | | And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. |
| 16 | | 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. |
| 17 | | And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. |
| 18 | | Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit 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 unto the Lord. |
| 21 | | Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. |
| 22 | | Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: |
| 23 | | And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; |
| 24 | | Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. |
| 25 | | But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. |
