1 If therefore ye be risen with Christ, seek things above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God. 2 Think of things above, and not upon those upon the earth. 3 For ye died, and your life has been hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ shall be manifested, our life, then also ye with him shall be made manifest in glory. 5 Therefore kill your members that are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For these comes the Wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: 7 In which also ye then walked, when ye lived in them. 8 And now ye also put them all away; anger, wrath, badness, slander, shameful language out of your mouth. 9 Lie not to one another, having put off the old man with big deeds; 10 And having put on the new, being renewed in knowledge according to the image of him having created him: 11 Where no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, free: but Christ all things, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassions, kindnesses, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 (Bearing one another, propitiating one another, if any have a complaint against any: as also Christ propitiated for you, so also ye.)
