Colossians 3:1-15 ▼

1 If, then, you? were raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

2 Mind the things above, not the things on the earth.

3 For you? died, and your? life has been hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, your? life, shall appear, then you? also will appear with Him in glory.

5 Put to death, therefore, the members that are upon the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry,

6 because of which things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience,

7 in which you? also walked once when you? were living in them.

8 But now you? also put off all these things: wrath, rage, malice, slander, shameful talk out of your? mouth.

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

10 and having put on the new, the one being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the One having created him,

11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.

12 Put on, therefore, as the chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, inner parts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience,

13 bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone may have a complaint toward another. Just as also the Lord forgave you?, so also you?.

14 And over all these, put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

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