Colossians 3
1 If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those thinges which are aboue, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affections on things which are aboue, and not on things which are on the earth.
Set your mind on the things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
For ye died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God;
4 When Christ which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with him in glory.
when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.
5 Mortifie therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, vncleannes, the inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnes which is idolatrie.
Make dead therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
6 For the which things sake ye wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience.
on account of which things cometh the wrath of God.
7 Wherein ye also walked once, when ye liued in them.
In which things ye also once walked, when ye lived in them;
8 But now put ye away euen all these things, wrath, anger, maliciousnes, cursed speaking, filthie speaking, out of your mouth.
but now put ye away all these, anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy language out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the olde man with his workes,
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds,
10 And haue put on the newe, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him,
and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;
11 Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.
where there is no Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Now therfore as the elect of God holy and beloued, put on the bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering:
Clothe yourselves, therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, with compassionate affections, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarel to another: euen as Christ forgaue, euen so doe ye.
bearing with each other, and forgiving each other, if any one have a complaint against another; even as Christ freely forgave you, do ye also freely forgive;
14 And aboue all these thinges put on loue, which is the bond of perfectnes.
and over all these things put on the robe of love, which is the bond of perfectness;
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankfull.
and let the peace of Christ, to which ye were called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be ye thankful.
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.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to God;
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.
and whatever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father, through him.
18 Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as it is comely in the Lord.
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, loue your wiues, and be not bitter vnto them.
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all thing for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord.
Children, obey your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
21 Fathers, prouoke not your children to anger, least they be discouraged.
Fathers, provoke not your children, lest they be discouraged.
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.
Bond-servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.
23 And whatsoeuer ye doe, doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men,
Whatever ye do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men,
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receiue the reward of the inheritance: for ye serue the Lord Christ.
knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the recompense of the inheritance; serve Christ as your Lord.
25 But he that doeth wrong, shall receiue for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
For he that doeth wrong, shall receive back the wrong which he hath done; and there is no respect of persons.
