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 ye then be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.

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

Mind the things above, not those on the earth.

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

For ye are dead as to the world, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

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

When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear 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.

Mortify therefore your members that are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, disorderly passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is indeed idolatry:

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

for which things the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

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

In which ye also formerly walked, when ye lived among 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 away all these also, wrath, animosity, malice, calumny, and filthy discourse 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 ye have put off the old man with his evil practices;

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, which is renewed in 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.

Wherein there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free: 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:

Put on therefore, as the elect of God holy and beloved, bowels of mercy, benignity, humbleness 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 one another, and forgiving one another, if any one has a complaint against any: even as Christ hath forgiven you, so also do ye.

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

And above all these put on love, which is the band of perfection.

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 God preside in your hearts, to which ye are also called as united in one body: and be thankful for it.

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 by psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude singing in your hearts to the Lord.

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 whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to our God and Father by Him.

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

Wives, be subject to your husbands, as becometh you in the Lord:

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

and ye husbands, love your wives, and be not embittered 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 to the Lord:

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

and ye fathers, do not irritate your children, least 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.

Servants, be obedient in all things to your lawful masters, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in uprightness of heart, fearing God; and whatever service ye do,

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

do it heartily, 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 shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ;

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

but he that doth unjustly, shall receive for what wrong he hath done; and there is no respect of persons with God:
