Colossians 3:1-13 ▼

1 If ye then be rysen agayne with Christ, seke those things which are aboue, where Christe sitteth on the ryght hande of God.

2 Set your affection on thynges aboue, not on thinges on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your lyfe is hyd with Christe in God.

4 When soeuer Christe which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with hym in glorie.

5 Mortifie therefore your members which are vpon the earth: fornication, vncleannesse, inordinate affection, euyll concupiscence, and couetousnesse, which is worshippyng of images:

6 For which thynges sake, the wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience,

7 In the which ye walked sometyme, when ye lyued in them.

8 But nowe put ye of also all, wrath, fiercenesse, maliciousnesse, blasphemie, filthie comunication out of your mouth.

9 Lye not one to another, seyng that ye haue put of ye olde man with his workes:

10 Hauyng put on the newe man, which is renued into the knowledge after the image of hym that made hym,

11 Where is neither Greke nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Sythian, bonde, free: but Christe is all, and in all.

12 Put on therfore (as the elect of God, holy and beloued) bowels of mercie, kyndenesse, humblenesse of mynde, mekenesse, long sufferyng,

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.
