Colossians 3 📜 📕 ↷
Put On the New Self
1 THEREFORE if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God.📜💬📚
2 Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.📜💬📚
3 For you are dead; and your life is hid with Christ in God.📜💬📚
4 When Christ shall appear, your life; then you also shall appear with him in glory.📜💬📚
5 Mortify therefore your members that are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and avarice, which is the service of idols.📜💬📚
6 For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of incredulity.📜💬📚
7 In which you also walked sometime, when you lived in them.📜💬📚
8 But now lay you also all away anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy talk out of your mouth.📜💬📚
9 Lie not one to another: spoiling your selves of the old man with his acts,📜💬📚
10 and doing on the new, him that is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him.📜💬📚
11 Where there is not, Gentile & Jew, circumcision and prepuce, Barbarous and Scythian, bond and free: but all, and in all Christ.📜💬📚
12 Put ye on therefore as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience,📜💬📚
13 supporting one another, & pardoning one another, if any have a quarrel against any man. As also our Lord hath pardoned us: so you also.📜💬📚
14 But above all these things have charity, which is the band of perfection:📜💬📚
15 and let the peace of Christ exult in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be thankful.📜💬📚
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you aboundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing your own selves, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, in grace singing in your hearts to God.📜💬📚
17 All whatsoever you do in word or in work, all things in the name of our Lord JESUS Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.📜💬📚
Christian Households
18 Women be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in our Lord.📜💬📚
19 Men, love your wives: and be not bitter toward them.📜💬📚
20 Children obey your parents in all things: for that is well pleasing to our Lord.📜💬📚
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation; that they become not discouraged.📜💬📚
Serving with Honor
22 Servants, obey in all things, your masters according to the flesh, not serving to the eye, as pleasing men, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.📜💬📚
23 Whatsoever you do, work it from the heart as to our Lord, and not to men:📜💬📚
24 knowing that you shall receive of our Lord the retribution of inheritance. Serve our Lord Christ.📜💬📚
25 For he that doeth injury, shall receive that which he hath done unjustly: and there is not acception of persons with God.📜💬📚
