3Colossians 3

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

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

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

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

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

6For which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:Select Colossians 3:6

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

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

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

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

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

12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;Select Colossians 3:12

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

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

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

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.Select Colossians 3:16

17And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.Select Colossians 3:17

18Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.Select Colossians 3:18

19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.Select Colossians 3:19

20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.Select Colossians 3:20

21Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.Select Colossians 3:21

22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;Select Colossians 3:22

23And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;Select Colossians 3:23

24Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.Select Colossians 3:24

25But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.Select Colossians 3:25
