¶ If ye then be risen¹ with Christ, seek² those things which are above, where³ Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Set⁴ your affection⁵ on things above, not on things on the earth.

For ye are⁶ dead, and your⁷ life is hid⁸ with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is our⁹ life, shall appear¹⁰, then shall ye¹¹ also appear with him in glory.

¶ Mortify¹² therefore your members¹³ which are upon the earth; fornication¹⁴, uncleanness, inordinate¹⁵ affection, evil¹⁶ concupiscence, and covetousness¹⁷, which is idolatry:

For which¹⁹ things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children²⁰ of disobedience:

²¹In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

¶ But now ye also put²² off all these; anger²³, wrath, malice, blasphemy²⁴, filthy²⁵ communication out of your mouth.

Lie²⁶ not one to another, seeing that ye²⁷ have put off the old man with his deeds;

¶ And have put²⁸ on the new²⁹ man, which is renewed³⁰ in knowledge³¹ after³² the image of him that created him:

Where there³³ is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision³⁴ nor uncircumcision, Barbarian³⁵, Scythian, bond³⁶ nor free: but³⁷ Christ is all, and³⁸ in all.

¶ Put³⁹ on therefore, as⁴⁰ the elect of God, holy⁴¹ and beloved⁴², bowels⁴³ of mercies⁴⁴, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Forbearing⁴⁵ one another, and forgiving⁴⁶ one another, if any man have a quarrel⁴⁷ against any: even⁴⁸ as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

And above all these things put on charity⁴⁹, which is the⁵⁰ bond of perfectness.

And let the peace⁵¹ of God rule in your hearts, to the⁵² which also ye are called in one body; and be⁵³ ye thankful.

Let the word⁵⁴ of Christ dwell⁵⁵ in you richly⁵⁶ in all⁵⁷ wisdom; teaching⁵⁸ and admonishing one another in psalms⁵⁹ and hymns and spiritual⁶⁰ songs, singing⁶¹ with grace in your hearts to the⁶² Lord.

And whatsoever⁶³ ye do in word⁶⁴ or deed, do all in the⁶⁵ name of the Lord Jesus, giving⁶⁶ thanks to God⁶⁷ and the Father by him.

¶ Wives, submit⁶⁸ yourselves unto your own husbands, as⁶⁹ it is fit in the Lord.

Husbands, love⁷⁰ your wives, and be not bitter⁷¹ against them.

¶ Children, obey⁷² your parents in⁷³ all things: for this is well pleasing⁷⁴ unto the Lord.

⁷⁵Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

Servants, obey⁷⁷ in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers⁷⁸; but in singleness⁷⁹ of heart, fearing⁸⁰ God:

And whatsoever⁸¹ ye do, do it heartily, as⁸² to the Lord, and not unto men;

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall⁸³ receive the reward of the inheritance: for⁸⁴ ye serve the Lord Christ.

But he that⁸⁵ doeth wrong shall receive⁸⁶ for the wrong which he hath done: and⁸⁷ there is no respect of persons.
