1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. ERV — Colossians 3:1
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. ERV — Colossians 3:2
3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ERV — Colossians 3:3
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. ERV — Colossians 3:4
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, the which is idolatry; ERV — Colossians 3:5
6 for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience; ERV — Colossians 3:6
7 in the which ye also walked aforetime, when ye lived in these things. ERV — Colossians 3:7
8 But now put ye also away all these; anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: ERV — Colossians 3:8
9 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, ERV — Colossians 3:9
10 and have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: ERV — Colossians 3:10
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman: but Christ is all, and in all. ERV — Colossians 3:11
12 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; ERV — Colossians 3:12
13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: ERV — Colossians 3:13
14 and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. ERV — Colossians 3:14
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. ERV — Colossians 3:15
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 unto God. ERV — Colossians 3:16
17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ERV — Colossians 3:17
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. ERV — Colossians 3:18
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. ERV — Colossians 3:19
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. ERV — Colossians 3:20
21 Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged. ERV — Colossians 3:21
22 Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: ERV — Colossians 3:22
23 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; ERV — Colossians 3:23
24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ. ERV — Colossians 3:24
25 For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. ERV — Colossians 3:25
