If therefore ye were raised with Christ, seek the things above, where the Christ is seated on [the] right hand of God.
Set your mind on the things above, not on those on the earth.
For ye died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.
When the Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.
Put to death therefore your members that [are] on the earth, fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
on account of which things cometh the wrath of God [upon the sons of disobedience]:
in which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.
But now do ye also put off the whole: wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.
Lie not to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
and having put on the new that is renewed in full knowledge according to [the] image of him that created him;
where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free, but Christ the whole, and in all.
Put on therefore, as elect of God, holy [and] beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, long-suffering;
forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any should have a complaint against any; even as also the Lord forgave you, so also [do] ye;
and in addition to all these, love, which is [the] bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of the Christ rule in your hearts, into which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to God.
And everything, whatever ye do in word or in work, [do] all in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
Wives, be subject to the husbands, as was fitting in [the] Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter against them.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.
Fathers, do not irritate your children, that they be not discouraged.
Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart fearing the Lord.
And whatever ye do, heartily work as to the Lord and not to men,
knowing that from [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.
For he that doeth wrongfully shall receive what he did wrongfully, and there is no respect of persons.
