| 3:1
| If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
|
| 3:2
| Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
|
| 3:3
| For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
|
| 3:4
| When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear
with him in glory.
|
| 3:5
| Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness,
which is idolatry:
|
| 3:6
| For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of
disobedience:
|
| 3:7
| In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
|
| 3:8
| But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
filthy communication out of your mouth.
|
| 3:9
| Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his
deeds;
|
| 3:10
| And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the
image of him that created him:
|
| 3:11
| Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
|
| 3:12
| Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of
mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
|
| 3:13
| Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a
quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
|
| 3:14
| And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of
perfectness.
|
| 3:15
| And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called in one body; and be ye thankful.
|
| 3:16
| 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.
|
| 3:17
| 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.
|
| 3:18
| Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the
Lord.
|
| 3:19
| Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
|
| 3:20
| Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing
unto the Lord.
|
| 3:21
| Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
|
| 3:22
| Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not
with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
|
| 3:23
| And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
|
| 3:24
| Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
for ye serve the Lord Christ.
|
| 3:25
| But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done:
and there is no respect of persons.
