[KJV] chapters
[1],[2][4]
Colossians 3
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right
hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things
on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ
in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then
shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the
earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate
affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness,
which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on
the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye
lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath,
malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your
mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put
off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of him that 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 mercies, kindness, humbleness of
mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another,
if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which
is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to
the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye
thankful.
16 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.
17 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.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto 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 unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest
they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters
according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as
menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the
reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord
Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the
wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of
persons.
