Colossians 3 If, then, you have been raised with Christ seek the things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ If, then, you have been raised with Christ seek the things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God. ² Set your affections on things above; not on things upon the earth. ³ For you are dead; but your life is hid with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ our life shall appear then you shall also appear with him in glory. ⁵ Mortify, therefore, your members which are on the earth; fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and licentiousness, which is idolatry; ⁶ for which the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience; ⁷ in which you also formerly walked, when you lived with them. ⁸ But now also put away all these, anger, wrath, malice, defamation, obscene discourse, from your mouth. ⁹ Lie not one to another, having put off the old man, with his practices; ¹⁰ and having put on the new, who is renewed by knowledge, after the image of him, who created him;- ¹¹ where there is neither Greek nor Jew; circumcision nor uncircumcision; barbarian, Scythian; bond nor free; but Christ is all, and in all. ¹² Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering. ¹³ Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any one have a complaint against any one: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you. ¹⁴ And over all these put on love, which is a bond of perfection. ¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts; to which also you are called in one body, and be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; and with all wisdom teach and admonish each other by psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs; singing with gratitude in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, even the Father, through him. ¹⁸ Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. ²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. ²¹ Fathers, do not exasperate your children, lest they be discouraged. ²² Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but with integrity of heart, as fearing God. ²³ And whatever you do, work it from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to men: ²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the recompense for the inheritance; for you serve the Lord. ²⁵ But he who does unjustly, shall receive for the injustice, he has done: for there is no respect of persons.
