¹If, then, you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. ²Set your mind on the things above, not on the things on the earth, ³for you have died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God. ⁴When Christ, who is our life, is manifested, then you also will be manifested with him in glory. ⁵So mortify your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and fraud, which is idolatry, ⁶on account of which the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience, ⁷in which you once walked, when you lived in the way of them, ⁸but now, you too, put all these aside: anger, rage, evil, blasphemy and obscenity from your mouth. ⁹Do not lie to one another, having taken off the old man with his practices, ¹⁰and having put on the new man, who is renewed, leading to knowledge in accordance with the image of him who created him, ¹¹where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ, who is all and in all. ¹²Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, compassionate feelings, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, ¹³bearing up with each other, and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against anyone. And as Christ also has forgiven you, so also you should do. ¹⁴But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection, ¹⁵and may the peace of God preside in your hearts, to which you have also been called in one body. And do be thankful. ¹⁶May the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, as you teach and admonish each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. ¹⁷Also, everything you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the father through him. ¹⁸Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. ¹⁹Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter towards them. ²⁰Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing with the Lord. ²¹Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they do not become disheartened. ²²Servants, obey your masters according to the flesh in everything, not in eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in single-mindedness, fearing God, ²³and whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as to the Lord, and not to men, ²⁴knowing that you will receive from the Lord the reward of the inheritance, for you serve the Lord Christ, ²⁵but he who does wrong will be requited for what he has done wrong, and there is no partiality.
