Let no man therefore condemn you for meats or drinks, or in respect of feasts, or new moons, or sabbaths:

Let no man condemn you, from an affectation of humility, in worshipping of Angels, boldly prying into matters which he knows nothing of, being vainly puft up with his Jewish conceits:

let the things above, and not such worldly matters be the object of your thoughts.

but now renounce them all, as well as anger, animosity, malice: let calumny and obscene discourse be banish'd from your lips.

let there be no fraud among you, since you have discarded your former habits and practices, and are become new men,

Let the christian doctrine be the familiar subject of your entertainment: in all wisdom instructing and exhorting one another, in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, melodiously tuning your grateful praises to God.

let your discourse and your actions be all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father by him.

let an air of modesty appear in all your discourse; and let it be seasoned with discretion, in making a proper reply, when you are call'd into question.
