1If ye be then risen again with Christ seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ which is our life shall shew himself, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness which is worshipping of idols: 6for which thing's sakes the wrath of God falleth on the children of unbelief. 7In which things ye walked once, when ye lived in them. 8But now put ye also away from you all things, wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out of your mouths. 9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his works, 10and have put on the new, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that made him, 11where is neither greek nor iewe, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarous or Sithian, bond or free: But Christe is all in all things.

12Now therefore as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of minde, meekness, long suffering, 13forbearing one another, and forgiving one another (if any man have a quarrel to another) even as Christ forgave you, even so do ye. 14Above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness, 15and the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which peace ye are called in one body: and see that ye be thankful. 16Let the word of God dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom. Teach and exhort your own selves, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs which have favour with them, singing in your hearts to the Lord. 17And all things (whatsoever ye do in word or deed) do in the name of the Lord Iesu, giving thanks to God the father by him.

18Wives submit your own selves unto your own husbands, as it is comely in the Lord. 19Husbands love your wives and be not bitter unto them. 20Children obey your fathers and mothers, in all things, for that is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21Fathers rate not your children, lest they be of a desperate mind.

22Servants be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things: not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart fearing God. 23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as though ye did it to the Lord, and not unto men, 24remembering that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25But he that doth wrong shall receive for the wrong that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons.
