1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek the things that
are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of
God.
2 noteMind the things above, not those on the earth.
3 For ye are dead as to the world, and your life is hid
with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is note your
life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in
glory.
5 Mortify therefore your note members that are upon the
earth; fornication, uncleanness, disorderly passion, evil
concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is indeed
idolatry:
6 for which things the wrath of God cometh on
the children of disobedience.
7 In which ye also formerly
walked, when ye lived among them.
8 But now put
away all these also, wrath, animosity, malice, note calumny,
and filthy discourse out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one
to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with
his evil practices;
10 and have put on the new man, which
is renewed in knowledge, after the image of Him that
created him.
11 Wherein there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian,
slave, or free: but Christ is all and in all.
12 Put on
therefore, as the elect of God holy and beloved,
bowels of mercy, note benignity, humbleness of mind,
meekness, long-suffering;
13 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 note above all these put on love, which is the
band of perfection.
15 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 word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
wisdom; note teaching and admonishing one another by
psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, with note gratitude
singing in your hearts to the Lord.
17 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 Wives, be subject to your note husbands, as becometh
you in the Lord:
19 and ye husbands, love your wives, and
be not embittered against them.
20 Children, obey your
parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing to the
Lord:
21 and ye fathers, do not irritate your children, least
they be discouraged.
22 Servants, be obedient in all things
to your note lawful masters, not with eye-service as men-pleasers,
but in note uprightness of heart, fearing God;
and whatever service ye do,
23 note do it heartily, as to the
Lord, note and not to men;
24 knowing that from the Lord
ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; for
ye serve the Lord Christ;
25 but he that doth unjustly,
shall note receive for what wrong he hath done; and there
is no respect of persons with God:
