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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.studyinterlinear

17And 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.studyinterlinear

18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.studyinterlinear

19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.studyinterlinear

20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.studyinterlinear

21Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.studyinterlinear

22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:studyinterlinear

23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;studyinterlinear

24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.studyinterlinear

25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.studyinterlinear
