Colossians 3

1 If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
Compare verse
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Compare verse
3 For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Compare verse
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.
Compare verse
5 Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Compare verse
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:
Compare verse
7 In the which you also walked some time, when you lived in them.
Compare verse
8 But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Compare verse
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;
Compare verse
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Compare verse
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Compare verse
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
Compare verse
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.
Compare verse
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.
Compare verse
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in one body; and be you thankful.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
17 And 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.
Compare verse
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Compare verse
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Compare verse
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
Compare verse
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Compare verse
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
Compare verse
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
Compare verse
24 Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.
Compare verse
25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
