Colossians 3 Since you then have been raised up with the Christ, seek the things which are above; where the Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Since you then have been raised up with the Christ, seek the things which are above; where the Christ is seated at the right hand of God. ² Set your affections on the things above and not on the things of this earth. ³ For you have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. ⁴ When the Christ, our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory. ⁵ Mortify, therefore, with regard to your members which are on earth, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate passions, wicked desire, and that licentiousness, which is idolatry, ⁶ on the account of which things the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience, ⁷ and in which even you yourselves "walked formerly when you lived among them. ⁸ But now lay ye aside also all these things, anger, wrath, malice, detraction, obscene discourse out of your mouth. ⁹ Lie not one to another. Having put off the old man, with his deeds, ¹⁰ and put on the new man, which is renewed for knowledge after the image of him who created it, ¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, scythian, bondman, freeman, but the all, and in all, Christ; ¹² put on therefore as chosen of God, holy and beloved, bowels of tender mercies, gentleness, humility, meekness, long suffering, ¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving one another. If any one hath a cause of complaint against another; as the Christ hath freely forgiven you, so do ye. ¹⁴ And over all these put on love which is the band of this perfection; ¹⁵ and let the peace of God, to which you have been called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be ye grateful. ¹⁶ Let the word of the Christ dwell richly in you with all wisdom, when you teach and admonish one another; when with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs you sing gratefully to the Lord with your heart. ¹⁷ Indeed whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to the God and Father by him. ¹⁸ Wives, be submissive to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives and be not imbittered against them ²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. ²¹ Fathers, exasperate not your children, lest they be discouraged ²² Servants, obey in all respects them who are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service as men pleasers, but with singleness of heart, fearing God; ²³ and whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord, and not for men, ²⁴ knowing that you will receive from the Lord the reward of the inheritance; for you are serving the Lord Christ, ²⁵ and he who doth wrong shall receive according to the wrong he hath done. There is no respect of persons.
