1 If ye then be rysen agayne with Christ, seke those things which are aboue, where Christe sitteth on the ryght hande of God. If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on thynges aboue, not on thinges on the earth. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 For ye are dead, and your lyfe is hyd with Christe in God. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
4 When soeuer Christe which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with hym in glorie. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Mortifie therefore your members which are vpon the earth: fornication, vncleannesse, inordinate affection, euyll concupiscence, and couetousnesse, which is worshippyng of images: Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
6 For which thynges sake, the wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience, On account of these the wrath of God is coming. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
7 In the which ye walked sometyme, when ye lyued in them. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
8 But nowe put ye of also all, wrath, fiercenesse, maliciousnesse, blasphemie, filthie comunication out of your mouth. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
9 Lye not one to another, seyng that ye haue put of ye olde man with his workes: Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
10 Hauyng put on the newe man, which is renued into the knowledge after the image of hym that made hym, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
11 Where is neither Greke nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Sythian, bonde, free: but Christe is all, and in all. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12 Put on therfore (as the elect of God, holy and beloued) bowels of mercie, kyndenesse, humblenesse of mynde, mekenesse, long sufferyng, Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
13 Forbearyng one another, and forgeuyng one another, yf any man haue a quarel agaynst any: euen as Christe forgaue you, so also do ye. bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14 And aboue all thynges put on loue, which is the bonde of perfectnesse. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 And let the peace of God haue the victorie in your heartes, to the which also we are called in one body: And see that ye be thankefull. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
16 Let the worde of God dwell in you richly in all wisdome, teachyng and admonisshyng your owne selues, in psalmes, and hymmes, and spirituall songes, singyng with grace in your heartes to the Lorde.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
17 And whatsoeuer ye do in worde or deede, do all in the name of the Lorde Iesus, geuyng thankes to God and the father by hym.

22 Seruauntes, obey in all thynges to your bodyly maisters: not with eye seruice, as men pleasers, but in singlenesse of heart, fearyng God. Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
23 And whatsoeuer ye do, do it heartilie, as to the Lorde, and not vnto men: Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
