Colossians ā Chapter 3
Some lives are hidden with God in ChristāThe Saints are told to be holy and to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
1
If ye then be arisen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
3
For ye are adead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
5
aMortify therefore your bmembers which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, cinordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and dcovetousness, which is eidolatry:
7
In the which ye also walked asome time, when ye lived in them.
8
But now ye also aput off all these; banger, wrath, cmalice, dblasphemy, filthy ecommunication out of your mouth.
10
And have put on the anew man, which is renewed in knowledge after the bimage of him that ccreated him:
11
Where there is neither aGreek nor Jew, bcircumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12
Put on therefore, as the aelect of God, holy and beloved, bbowels of cmercies, dkindness, ehumbleness of mind, fmeekness, longsuffering;
13
aForbearing one another, and bforgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14
And above all these things put onacharity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15
And let the apeace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye bthankful.
16
Let the aword of Christ dwell in you richly in all bwisdom; cteaching and admonishing one another in psalms and dhymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, ado all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving bthanks to God and the Father by him.
18
aWives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
22
aServants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in bsingleness of heart, cfearing God:
23
And whatsoever ye do, do itaheartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
