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