3Colossians 3

1Therefore if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.Select Colossians 3:1

2Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon 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 shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory.Select Colossians 3:4

5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence and covetousness, which is the service of idols.Select Colossians 3:5

6For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief.Select Colossians 3:6

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

8But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.Select Colossians 3:8

9Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with his deeds,Select Colossians 3:9

10And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him.Select Colossians 3:10

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

12Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience:Select Colossians 3:12

13Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another. Even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also.Select Colossians 3:13

14But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection.Select Colossians 3:14

15And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful.Select Colossians 3:15

16Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly: in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God.Select Colossians 3:16

17All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.Select Colossians 3:17

18Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord.Select Colossians 3:18

19Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter towards 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 indignation, lest they be discouraged.Select Colossians 3:21

22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh: not serving to the eye, as pleasing men: but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.Select Colossians 3:22

23Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men:Select Colossians 3:23

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

25For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God.Select Colossians 3:25
