Colossians 3

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.KJRV — Colossians 3:1

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

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.KJRV — Colossians 3:3

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, (1 Corinthians 1:7) then shall ye also appear with him in glory.KJRV — Colossians 3:4

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness (Matthew 23:27; Romans 1:24; Romans 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:17; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:19; Ephesians 5:3; Ephesians 5:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:7) , inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:KJRV — Colossians 3:5

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:KJRV — Colossians 3:6

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.KJRV — Colossians 3:7

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

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off (Matthew 22:11; 2 Corinthians 5:3; Ephesians 4:24; Revelation 3:4; Revelation 16:15; Revelation 19:8) the old man with his deeds;KJRV — Colossians 3:9

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image (Genesis 1:27; 1 Corinthians 11:7; Ephesians 4:24; James 3:9) of him that created him:KJRV — Colossians 3:10

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision (1 Corinthians 7:19; Galatians 6:15) nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.KJRV — Colossians 3:11

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;KJRV — Colossians 3:12

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving (Matthew 18:22) one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.KJRV — Colossians 3:13

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.KJRV — Colossians 3:14

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.KJRV — Colossians 3:15

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.KJRV — Colossians 3:16

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.KJRV — Colossians 3:17

18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.KJRV — Colossians 3:18

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

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

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

22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;KJRV — Colossians 3:22

23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;KJRV — Colossians 3:23

24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.KJRV — Colossians 3:24

25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.KJRV — Colossians 3:25
