Colossians:3:1-17

Seeker Overlay ON

* If then you were raised with Christ , seek those things which are above , where Christ is , sitting at the right hand of God . * Set your mind on things above , not on things on the earth . * For you died , and your life is hidden with Christ in God . * When Christ who is our life appears , then you also will appear with Him in glory . * Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth : fornication , uncleanness , passion , evil desire , and covetousness , which is idolatry . * Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience , * in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them . * But now you yourselves are to put off all these : anger , wrath , malice , blasphemy , filthy language out of your mouth . * Do not lie to one another , since you have put off the old man with his deeds , * and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him , * where there is neither Greek nor Jew , circumcised nor uncircumcised , barbarian , Scythian , slave nor free , but Christ is all and in all . * Therefore , as the elect of God , holy and beloved , put on tender mercies , kindness , humility , meekness , longsuffering ; * bearing with one another , and forgiving one another , if anyone has a complaint against another ; even as Christ forgave you , so you also must do . * But above all these things put on love , which is the bond of perfection . * And let the peace of God rule in your hearts , to which also you were called in one body ; and be thankful . * 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 . * And whatever you do in word or deed , do all in the name of the Lord Jesus , giving thanks to God the Father through Him .
