Colossians 3

^aIf ye then be risen with Christ, seek ^bthose things which are above, ^cwhere Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. ²Set your affection on ^bthings above, not on things on the earth. ³For ^dye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ⁴When Christ, who is ^eour life, ^fshall appear, then shall ye also appear with him ^gin glory.

^5hMortify therefore ⁱyour members which are upon the earth; ^kfornication, ^kuncleanness, ^lminordinate affection, evil ^mconcupiscence, and ^kcovetousness, ⁿwhich is idolatry: ^6ofor which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on ^pthe children of ⁿdisobedience: ⁷in the which ^qye also walked ^rsometime, when ye lived in them. ⁸But now you also ^sput off all these; ^tanger, ^twrath, ^tmalice, ^tblasphemy, ^ufilthy communication out of your mouth. ^9wLie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off ^sxthe old man with his deeds; ¹⁰and ^yhave put on ^zthe new man, ^awhich is renewed ^bin knowledge after ^cthe image of him that ^dcreated him: ¹¹where there is neither ^efGreek nor Jew, ^gcircumcision nor uncircumcision, ^hbarbarian, ⁱScythian, ^fbond nor free: but Christ is ^kall, and in all. ^12yPut on therefore, as ^lthe elect of God, holy and ^mbeloved, ^nobowels of mercies, ^okindness, ^phumbleness of mind, ^pmeekness, ^plongsuffering; ^13pforbearing one another, and ^oforgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: ^oeven as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. ^14qAnd above all these things ^rput on ^scharity, which is the ^tbond of ^uperfectness. ¹⁵And let ^wthe peace of God rule in your hearts, ^xto the which also ye are called ^yin one body; ^zand be ye thankful. ¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly ^abin all wisdom; ^bteaching and ^badmonishing one another ^cin psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing ^dwith grace in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷And ^ewhatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^fgiving thanks to God and the Father by him.

^18gWives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, ^has it is fit in the Lord. ¹⁹ⁱHusbands, love your wives, and ^kbe not bitter against them. ^20lChildren, obey your parents ^min all things: for this is ⁿwell pleasing unto the Lord. ^21oFathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be ^pdiscouraged. ^22qServants, obey ^min all things your masters according to the flesh; ^qnot with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but ^qin singleness of heart, fearing God: ²³and ^ewhatsoever ye do, do it ^rheartily, as ^sto the Lord, and not unto men; ^24tknowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of ^uthe inheritance: for ^qsye serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵But he that doeth wrong ^wshall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and ^xthere is no respect of persons.
