Colossians 3:1-15 ▼

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.)

14 And over all these, love, which is the bond of completion.

15 And let the peace of God act as umpire in your hearts, to which also, ye were called in one body: and be grateful.
