Verse
Colossians - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
- Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
- For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
- When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
- Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
- for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
- You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
- but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
- Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
- and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
- where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
- Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
- bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
- Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
- And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
- Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
- Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
- Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
- Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them.
- Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
