Colossians Chapter 3 - American Standard Version
- 1
- If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
- 2
- Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
- 3
- For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
- 4
- When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.
- 5
- Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
- 6
- for which things` sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:
- 7
- wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;
- 8
- but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
- 9
- lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,
- 10
- and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:
- 11
- where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
- 12
- Put on therefore, as God`s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
- 13
- forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:
- 14
- and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
- 15
- And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
- 16
- Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms [and] hymns [and] spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.
- 17
- And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
- 18
- Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
- 19
- Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
- 20
- Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
- 21
- Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.
- 22
- Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:
- 23
- whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;
- 24
- knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.
- 25
- For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
