Colossians:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If ye then be risen with Christ ,
seek those things which are above ,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God .
*
Set your affection on things above ,
not on things on the earth .
*
For ye are dead ,
and your life is hid with Christ in God .
*
When Christ ,
who is our life ,
shall appear ,
then shall ye also appear with him in glory .
*
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth ;
fornication ,
uncleanness ,
inordinate affection ,
evil concupiscence ,
and covetousness ,
which is idolatry :
*
For which things '
sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience :
*
In the which ye also walked some time ,
when ye lived in them .
*
But now ye also put off all these ;
anger ,
wrath ,
malice ,
blasphemy ,
filthy communication 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 ,
which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him :
*
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew ,
circumcision nor uncircumcision ,
Barbarian ,
Scythian ,
bond nor free :
but Christ is all ,
and in all .
*
Put on therefore ,
as the elect of God ,
holy and beloved ,
bowels of mercies ,
kindness ,
humbleness of mind ,
meekness ,
longsuffering ;
*
Forbearing one another ,
and forgiving one another ,
if any man have a quarrel against any :
even as Christ forgave you ,
so also do ye .
*
And above all these things put on charity ,
which is the bond of perfectness .
*
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts ,
to the which also ye are called in one body ;
and be ye 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 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 .
*
Wives ,
submit yourselves unto your own 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 unto the Lord .
*
Fathers ,
provoke not your children to anger ,
lest they be discouraged .
*
Servants ,
obey in all things your masters according to the flesh ;
not with eyeservice ,
as menpleasers ;
but in singleness of heart ,
fearing God :
*
And whatsoever ye do ,
do it heartily ,
as to the Lord ,
and not unto men ;
*
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance :
for ye serve the Lord Christ .
*
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done :
and there is no respect of persons .
