3:1 If then you+ were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
3:2 Set your+ mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. 3:3 For you+ died, and your+ life is hid with Christ in God. 3:4 When Christ will be manifested, [who is] your+ life, then you+ will also be manifested with him in glory. 3:5 Put to death therefore your+ members which are on the earth: fornication, impurity, immoral sexual passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry; 3:6 because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience: 3:7 in which you+ also once walked, when you+ lived in these things; 3:8 but now do you+ also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your+ mouth: 3:9 do not lie one to another; seeing that you+ have put off the old man with his activities, 3:10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed to knowledge after the image of him who created him: 3:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all things, and in all. 3:12 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, long-suffering; 3:13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you+, so also [should] you+: 3:14 and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness. 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your+ hearts, to the which you+ also were called in one body; and be+ thankful. 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you+ richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms [and] hymns [and] spiritual songs, singing with grace in your+ hearts to God. 3:17 And 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. 3:18 Wives, be in subjection to your+ husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 3:19 Husbands, love your+ wives, and do not be bitter against them. 3:20 Children, obey your+ parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 3:21 Fathers, do not provoke your+ children, that they not be discouraged. 3:22 Slaves, obey in all things those who are your+ masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 3:23 whatever you+ do, work from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to men; 3:24 knowing that from the Lord you+ will receive the recompense of the inheritance: you+ serve as slaves to the Lord Christ. 3:25 For he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done: and there is no favoritism. |
