Colossians:3

Seeker Overlay ON

* If then ye were raised together with Christ , seek the things that are above , where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God . * Set your mind on the things above , not on things on the earth . * For ye died , and your life is hidden with Christ in God ; * when Christ , our life , shall be manifested , then will ye also be manifested with him in glory . * Make dead therefore your members which are upon the earth , fornication , uncleanness , lust , evil desire , and covetousness , which is idolatry ; * on account of which things cometh the wrath of God . * In which things ye also once walked , when ye lived in them ; * but now put ye away all these , anger , wrath , malice , evil –speaking , filthy language out of your mouth . * Lie not one to another , seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds , * and have put on the new man , who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him ; * where there is no Greek nor Jew , circumcision nor uncircumcision , Barbarian , Scythian , bondman , freeman ; but Christ is all , and in all . * Clothe yourselves , therefore , as the chosen of God , holy and beloved , with compassionate affections , kindness , lowliness of mind , meekness , long –suffering ; * bearing with each other , and forgiving each other , if any one have a complaint against another ; even as Christ freely forgave you , do ye also freely forgive ; * and over all these things put on the robe of love , which is the bond of perfectness ; * and let the peace of Christ , to which ye were called in one body , rule in your hearts ; and be ye thankful . * Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly ; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms , hymns , spiritual songs , in grace singing in your hearts to God ; * and whatever ye do , in word or deed , do all in the name of the Lord Jesus , giving thanks to God , the Father , through him . * Wives , submit yourselves to your husbands , as it is fit 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 , provoke not your children , lest they be discouraged . * Bond –servants , obey in all things your masters according to the flesh , not with eye –service , as men –pleasers , but in singleness of heart , fearing the Lord . * Whatever ye do , do it from the heart , as to the Lord , and not to men , * knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the recompense of the inheritance ; serve Christ as your Lord . * For he that doeth wrong , shall receive back the wrong which he hath done ; and there is no respect of persons .
