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

² Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

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

⁴ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

⁶ For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

⁷ In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

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

⁹ Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

¹⁰ And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

¹¹ Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

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

¹³ Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

¹⁴ And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁸ Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

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

²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

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

²³ And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

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

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

¹ If ^G1487 ye ^G4891 then ^G3767 be risen ^G4891 with Christ, ^G5547 seek ^G2212 those things which are above, ^G507 where ^G3757 Christ ^G5547 sitteth ^{G2076 G2521} on ^G1722 the right hand ^G1188 of God. ^G2316

² Set your affection ^G5426 on things above, ^G507 not ^G3361 on things on ^G1909 the earth. ^G1093

³ For ^G1063 ye are dead, ^G599 and ^G2532 your ^G5216 life ^G2222 is hid ^G2928 with ^G4862 Christ ^G5547 in ^G1722 God. ^G2316

⁴ When ^G3752 Christ, ^G5547 who is our ^G2257 life, ^G2222 shall appear, ^G5319 then ^G5119 shall ^G5319 ye ^G5210 also ^G2532 appear ^G5319 with ^G4862 him ^G846 in ^G1722 glory. ^G1391

⁵ Mortify ^G3499 therefore ^G3767 your ^G5216 members ^G3196 which ^G3588 are upon ^G1909 the earth; ^G1093 fornication, ^G4202 uncleanness, ^G167 inordinate affection, ^G3806 evil ^G2556 concupiscence, ^G1939 and ^G2532 covetousness, ^G4124 which ^G3748 is ^G2076 idolatry: ^G1495

⁶ For ^G1223 which things' sake ^G3739 the wrath ^G3709 of God ^G2316 cometh ^G2064 on ^G1909 the children ^G5207 of disobedience: ^G543

⁷ In ^G1722 the which ^G3739 ye ^G5210 also ^G2532 walked ^G4043 some time, ^G4218 when ^G3753 ye lived ^G2198 in ^G1722 them. ^G846

⁸ But ^G1161 now ^G3570 ye ^G5210 also ^G2532 put off ^G659 all these; ^G3956 anger, ^G3709 wrath, ^G2372 malice, ^G2549 blasphemy, ^G988 filthy communication ^G148 out of ^G1537 your ^G5216 mouth. ^G4750

⁹ Lie ^G5574 not ^G3361 one to another, ^{G1519 G240} seeing that ye have put off ^G554 the old ^G3820 man ^G444 with ^G4862 his ^G846 deeds; ^G4234

¹⁰ And ^G2532 have put on ^G1746 the new ^G3501 man, which ^G3588 is renewed ^G341 in ^G1519 knowledge ^G1922 after ^G2596 the image of him ^G1504 that created ^G2936 him: ^G846

¹¹ Where ^G3699 there is ^G1762 neither ^G3756 Greek ^G1672 nor ^G2532 Jew, ^G2453 circumcision ^G4061 nor ^G2532 uncircumcision, ^G203 Barbarian, ^G915 Scythian, ^G4658 bond ^G1401 nor free: ^G1658 but ^G235 Christ ^G5547 is all, ^G3956 and ^G2532 in ^G1722 all. ^G3956

¹² Put on ^G1746 therefore, ^G3767 as ^G5613 the elect ^G1588 of God, ^G2316 holy ^G40 and ^G2532 beloved, ^G25 bowels ^G4698 of mercies, ^G3628 kindness, ^G5544 humbleness of mind, ^G5012 meekness, ^G4236 longsuffering; ^G3115

¹³ Forbearing ^G430 one another, ^G240 and ^G2532 forgiving ^G5483 one another, ^G1438 if ^G1437 any man ^G5100 have ^G2192 a quarrel ^G3437 against ^G4314 any: ^G5100 even as ^{G2531 G2532} Christ ^G5547 forgave ^G5483 you, ^G5213 so ^G3779 also ^G2532 do ye. ^G5210

¹⁴ And ^G1161 above ^G1909 all ^G3956 these things ^G5125 put on charity, ^G26 which ^G3748 is ^G2076 the bond ^G4886 of perfectness. ^G5047

¹⁵ And ^G2532 let ^G1018 the peace ^G1515 of God ^G2316 rule ^G1018 in ^G1722 your ^G5216 hearts, ^G2588 to ^G1519 the which ^G3739 also ^G2532 ye are called ^G2564 in ^G1722 one ^G1520 body; ^G4983 and ^G2532 be ye ^G1096 thankful. ^G2170

¹⁶ Let ^G1774 the word ^G3056 of Christ ^G5547 dwell ^G1774 in ^G1722 you ^G5213 richly ^G4146 in ^G1722 all ^G3956 wisdom; ^G4678 teaching ^G1321 and ^G2532 admonishing ^G3560 one another ^G1438 in psalms ^G5568 and ^G2532 hymns ^G5215 and ^G2532 spiritual ^G4152 songs, ^G5603 singing ^G103 with ^G1722 grace ^G5485 in ^G1722 your ^G5216 hearts ^G2588 to the Lord. ^G2962

¹⁷ And ^G2532 whatsoever ^{G3748 G3956} ye do ^{G302 G4160} in ^G1722 word ^G3056 or ^{G2228 G1722} deed, ^G2041 do all ^G3956 in ^G1722 the name ^G3686 of the Lord ^G2962 Jesus, ^G2424 giving thanks ^G2168 to God ^G2316 and ^G2532 the Father ^G3962 by ^G1223 him. ^G846

¹⁸ Wives, ^G1135 submit yourselves ^G5293 unto your own ^G2398 husbands, ^G435 as ^G5613 it is fit ^G433 in ^G1722 the Lord. ^G2962

¹⁹ Husbands, ^G435 love ^G25 your wives, ^G1135 and ^G2532 be ^G4087 not ^G3361 bitter ^G4087 against ^G4314 them. ^G846

²⁰ Children, ^G5043 obey ^G5219 your parents ^G1118 in ^G2596 all things: ^G3956 for ^G1063 this ^G5124 is ^G2076 well pleasing ^G2101 unto the Lord. ^G2962

²³ And ^G2532 whatsoever ^{G3956 G3748 G1437} ye do, ^G4160 do ^G2038 it heartily, ^{G1537 G5590} as ^G5613 to the Lord, ^G2962 and ^G2532 not ^G3756 unto men; ^G444

²⁴ Knowing ^G1492 that ^G3754 of ^G575 the Lord ^G2962 ye shall receive ^G618 the reward ^G469 of the inheritance: ^G2817 for ^G1063 ye serve ^G1398 the Lord ^G2962 Christ. ^G5547

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.

² Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

³ For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

⁴ When Christ, `who is' our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.

⁵ Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

⁶ for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:

⁷ wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;

⁸ but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:

⁹ lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:

¹¹ where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

¹² Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

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:

¹⁴ and above all these things `put on' love, which is the bond of perfectness.

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.

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.

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.

²⁵ For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

¹ If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,

² the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,

³ for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;

⁴ when the Christ -- our life -- may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that `are' upon the earth -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry --

⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁷ in which also ye -- ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;

⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth.

⁹ Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,

¹⁰ and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;

¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman -- but the all and in all -- Christ.

¹² Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye;

¹⁴ and above all these things, `have' love, which is a bond of the perfection,

¹⁵ and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

¹⁷ and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, `do' all things in the name of the Lord Jesus -- giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

¹ If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:

² have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;

³ for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.

⁴ When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory.

⁵ Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.

⁶ On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

⁷ In which *ye* also once walked when ye lived in these things.

⁸ But now, put off, *ye* also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.

⁹ Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,

¹⁰ and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;

¹¹ wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.

¹² Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] *ye*.

¹⁴ And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.

¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.

¹⁶ Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.

²² Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.

²³ Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;

²⁴ knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.

²⁵ For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.

¹ If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

² Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

³ For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

⁴ When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

⁵ Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

⁶ for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁷ You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;

⁸ but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

⁹ Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

¹¹ where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

¹² Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

¹⁴ Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

²³ And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

²⁵ But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

---

¹ If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

² Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

³ For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

⁴ At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

⁵ Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

⁶ Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

⁷ Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.

⁸ But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;

⁹ Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

¹⁰ And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

¹¹ Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

¹² As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

¹³ Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:

¹⁴ And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.

¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

¹⁸ Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.

¹⁹ Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.

²⁰ Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

²¹ Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.

²² Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

²³ Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;

²⁴ Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

²⁵ For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.
