      | ¶ | 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. |
