Colossians
Chapter 3
|
1 If1487 you then3767 be risen4891 with Christ,5547 seek2212 those3588 things which are above,507 where3757 Christ5547 sits2521 on1722 the right1188 hand of God.2316
|
2 Set5426 your affection5426 on things above,507 not on1909 things on the earth.1093
|
3 For you are dead,599 and your5216 life2222 is hid2928 with Christ5547 in God.2316
|
4 When3752 Christ,5547 who is our life,2222 shall appear,5319 then5119 shall you also2532 appear5319 with him in glory.1391
|
5 Mortify3499 therefore3767 your5216 members3196 which3588 are on the earth;1093 fornication,4202 uncleanness,167 inordinate3806 affection,3806 evil2556 concupiscence,1939 and covetousness,4124 which3748 is idolatry:1495
|
6 For which3739 things' sake the wrath3709 of God2316 comes2064 on1909 the children5207 of disobedience:543
|
7 In the which3739 you also2532 walked4043 some4218 time,4218 when3753 you lived2198 in them.
|
8 But now3570 you also2532 put659 off659 all3956 these; anger,3709 wrath,2372 malice,2549 blasphemy,988 filthy148 communication148 out of your5216 mouth.4750
|
9 Lie5574 not one240 to another,240 seeing that you have put554 off554 the old3820 man444 with his deeds;4234
|
10 And have put1746 on1746 the new3501 man, which3588 is renewed341 in knowledge1922 after2596 the image1504 of him that created2936 him:
|
11 Where3699 there is neither3756 Greek1672 nor2532 Jew,2453 circumcision4061 nor2532 uncircumcision,203 Barbarian,915 Scythian,4658 bond1401 nor free:1658 but Christ5547 is all,3956 and in all.3956
|
12 Put1746 on1746 therefore,3767 as the elect1588 of God,2316 holy40 and beloved,25 bowels4698 of mercies,3628 kindness,5544 humbleness5012 of mind, meekness,4236 long-suffering;3115
|
13 Forbearing430 one240 another,240 and forgiving5483 one1438 another,1438 if1437 any5100 man have2192 a quarrel3437 against4314 any:5100 even2532 as Christ5547 forgave you, so3779 also2532 do you.
|
14 And above1909 all3956 these5125 things put on charity,26 which3748 is the bond4886 of perfection.5047
|
15 And let the peace1515 of God2316 rule1018 in your5216 hearts,2588 to the which3739 also2532 you are called2564 in one1520 body;4983 and be you thankful.2170
|
16 Let the word3056 of Christ5547 dwell1774 in you richly4146 in all3956 wisdom;4678 teaching1321 and admonishing3560 one1438 another1438 in psalms5568 and hymns5215 and spiritual4152 songs,5603 singing103 with grace5485 in your5216 hearts2588 to the Lord.2962
|
17 And whatever3956 you do4160 in word3056 or2228 deed,2041 do4160 all3956 in the name3686 of the Lord2962 Jesus,2424 giving thanks2168 to God2316 and the Father3962 by him.
|
18 Wives,1135 submit5293 yourselves to your2398 own2398 husbands,435 as it is fit433 in the Lord.2962
|
19 Husbands,435 love25 your3588 wives,1135 and be not bitter4087 against4314 them.
|
20 Children,5043 obey5219 your3588 parents1118 in all3956 things: for this5124 is well2101 pleasing to the Lord.2962
|
21 Fathers,3962 provoke2042 not your5216 children5043 to anger, lest2443 3361 they be discouraged.120
|
22 Servants,1401 obey5219 in all3956 things your3588 masters2962 according2596 to the flesh;4561 not with eye-service,3787 as men pleasers;441 but in singleness572 of heart,2588 fearing5399 God;2316
|
23 And whatever3956 3748 1437 you do,4160 do2038 it heartily,1537 5590 as to the Lord,2962 and not to men;444
|
24 Knowing1492 that of the Lord2962 you shall receive618 the reward469 of the inheritance:2817 for you serve1398 the Lord2962 Christ.5547
|
25 But he that does91 wrong91 shall receive2865 for the wrong91 which3739 he has done:91 and there is no3756 respect4382 of persons.4382
