If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fitting in the Lord.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you are called in one body; and be thankful.

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.

Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;

For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy talk out of your mouth.

And have put on the new man, that is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

In which you also once walked, when you lived in them.

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

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

But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.

Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

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

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
