Colossians 3
Big screen- 1If all of you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
- 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
- 3For all of you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
- 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall all of you also appear with him in glory.
- 5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
- 6For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:
- 7In the which all of you also walked some time, when all of you lived in them.
- 8But now all of you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
- 9Lie not one to another, seeing that all of you have put off the old man with his deeds;
- 10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
- 11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Savages, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
- 12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
- 13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do all of you.
- 14And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
- 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also all of you are called in one body; and be all of you thankful.
- 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
- 17And whatsoever all of you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
- 18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
- 19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
- 20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
- 21Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
- 22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
- 23And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
- 24Knowing that of the Lord all of you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for all of you serve the Lord Christ.
- 25But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
