Colossians 3 Bible text

KJV: 1KJV

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

KJV: 2KJV

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

KJV: 3KJV

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

KJV: 4KJV

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

KJV: 5KJV

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

KJV: 6KJV

For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

KJV: 7KJV

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

KJV: 8KJV

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

KJV: 9KJV

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

KJV: 10KJV

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

KJV: 11KJV

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

KJV: 12KJV

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

KJV: 13KJV

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

KJV: 14KJV

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

KJV: 15KJV

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

KJV: 16KJV

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.

KJV: 17KJV

And what soever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

KJV: 18KJV

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

KJV: 19KJV

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

KJV: 20KJV

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

KJV: 21KJV

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

KJV: 22KJV

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

KJV: 23KJV

And what soever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

KJV: 24KJV

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

KJV: 25KJV

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
