Geneva1599 - Colossians - 3

3:1  If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those thinges which are aboue, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.

3:2  Set your affections on things which are aboue, and not on things which are on the earth.

3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

3:4  When Christ which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with him in glory.

3:5  Mortifie therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, vncleannes, the inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnes which is idolatrie.

3:6  For the which things sake ye wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience.

3:7  Wherein ye also walked once, when ye liued in them.

3:8  But now put ye away euen all these things, wrath, anger, maliciousnes, cursed speaking, filthie speaking, out of your mouth.

3:9  Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the olde man with his workes,

3:10  And haue put on the newe, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him,

3:11  Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.

3:12  Now therfore as the elect of God holy and beloued, put on the bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering:

3:13  Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarel to another: euen as Christ forgaue, euen so doe ye.

3:14  And aboue all these thinges put on loue, which is the bond of perfectnes.

3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankfull.

3:16  Let the worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdome, teaching and admonishing your owne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing with a grace in your hearts to the Lord.

3:17  And whatsoeuer ye shall doe, in worde or deede, doe all in the Name of the Lord Iesus, giuing thankes to God euen the Father by him.

3:18  Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as it is comely in the Lord.

3:19  Husbands, loue your wiues, and be not bitter vnto them.

3:20  Children, obey your parents in all thing for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord.

3:21  Fathers, prouoke not your children to anger, least they be discouraged.

3:22  Seruants, be obedient vnto them that are your masters according to the flesh, in all things, not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but in singlenes of heart, fearing God.

3:23  And whatsoeuer ye doe, doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men,

3:24  Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receiue the reward of the inheritance: for ye serue the Lord Christ.

3:25  But he that doeth wrong, shall receiue for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
