| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him-- |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality. |
