RKJNT - Colossians - 3

3:1  If you have been raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.

3:2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3:3  For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

3:4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then you shall also appear with him in glory.

3:5  Therefore, put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

3:6  For because of these things the wrath of God is coming:

3:7  And in them you also walked at one time, when you lived in them.

3:8  But now put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy speech from your mouth.

3:9  Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;

3:10  And have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of the one who created him.

3:11  Here there is neither Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or free: but Christ is all, and in all.

3:12  Therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on hearts of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience;

3:13  Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another. If any man has a complaint against another; just as Christ forgave you, so you do the same.

3:14  And above all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to this; and be thankful.

3:16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

3:17  And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

3:18  Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

3:19  Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh toward them.

3:20  Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

3:21  Fathers, provoke not your children, lest they be discouraged.

3:22  Slaves, obey your earthly masters in all things; not as an outward show, as pleasers of men; but with singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:

3:23  And whatever you do, do it heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men;

3:24  Knowing that from the Lord you shall receive your reward, the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.

3:25  But he who does wrong shall be repaid for the wrong which he has done: and there is no partiality.
