1If then you{+} were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your{+} mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. 3For you{+} died, and your{+} life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ will be manifested, [who is] your{+} life, then you{+} will also be manifested with him in glory. 5Put to death therefore your{+} members which are on the earth: fornication, impurity, immoral sexual passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry; 6because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience: 7in which you{+} also once walked, when you{+} lived in these things; 8but now do you{+} also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your{+} mouth: 9do not lie one to another; seeing that you{+} have put off the old man with his activities, 10and have put on the new man, who is being renewed to knowledge after the image of him who created him: 11where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all things, and in all. 12Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, long-suffering; 13forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you{+}, so also [should] you{+}: 14and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your{+} hearts, to the which you{+} also were called in one body; and be{+} thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you{+} richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms [and] hymns [and] spiritual songs, singing with grace in your{+} hearts to God. 17And whatever you{+} do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18Wives, be in subjection to your{+} husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19Husbands, love your{+} wives, and do not be bitter against them. 20Children, obey your{+} parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 21Fathers, do not provoke your{+} children, that they not be discouraged. 22Slaves, obey in all things those who are your{+} masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 23whatever you{+} do, work heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men; 24knowing that from the Lord you{+} will receive the recompense of the inheritance: you{+} serve as slaves to the Lord Christ. 25For he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
