Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

As you also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

For I desire that you know what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him:

Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Therefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances,

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

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

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

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:

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

That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
