3:1 If
then
you
have
been
raised
with
Christ,
seek
the
things
that
are
above,
where
Christ
is,
seated
at
the
right
hand
of
God.
3:2 Set
your
minds
on
things
that
are
above,
not
on
things
that
are
on
earth.
3:3 For
you
have
died,
and
your
life
is
hidden
with
Christ
in
God.
3:4 When
Christ
who
is
your
life
appears,
then
you
also
will
appear
with
him
in
glory.
3:5 Put
to
death
therefore
what
is
earthly
in
you:
sexual
immorality,
impurity,
passion,
evil
desire,
and
covetousness,
which
is
idolatry.
3:6 On
account
of
these
the
wrath
of
God
is
coming.
3:7 In
these
you
too
once
walked,
when
you
were
living
in
them.
3:8 But
now
you
must
put
them
all
away:
anger,
wrath,
malice,
slander,
and
obscene
talk
from
your
mouth.
3:9 Do
not
lie
to
one
another,
seeing
that
you
have
put
off
the
old
self
with
its
practices
3:10 and
have
put
on
the
new
self,
which
is
being
renewed
in
knowledge
after
the
image
of
its
creator.
3:11 Here
there
is
not
Greek
and
Jew,
circumcised
and
uncircumcised,
barbarian,
Scythian,
slave,
free;
but
Christ
is
all,
and
in
all.
3:12 Put
on
then,
as
God's
chosen
ones,
holy
and
beloved,
compassionate
hearts,
kindness,
humility,
meekness,
and
patience,
3:13 bearing
with
one
another
and,
if
one
has
a
complaint
against
another,
forgiving
each
other;
as
the
Lord
has
forgiven
you,
so
you
also
must
forgive.
3:14 And
above
all
these
put
on
love,
which
binds
everything
together
in
perfect
harmony.
3:15 And
let
the
peace
of
Christ
rule
in
your
hearts,
to
which
indeed
you
were
called
in
one
body.
And
be
thankful.
3:16 Let
the
word
of
Christ
dwell
in
you
richly,
teaching
and
admonishing
one
another
in
all
wisdom,
singing
psalms
and
hymns
and
spiritual
songs,
with
thankfulness
in
your
hearts
to
God.
3:17 And
whatever
you
do,
in
word
or
deed,
do
everything
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
giving
thanks
to
God
the
Father
through
him.
3:18 Wives,
submit
to
your
husbands,
as
is
fitting
in
the
Lord.
3:19 Husbands,
love
your
wives,
and
do
not
be
harsh
with
them.
3:20 Children,
obey
your
parents
in
everything,
for
this
pleases
the
Lord.
3:21 Fathers,
do
not
provoke
your
children,
lest
they
become
discouraged.
3:22 Slaves,
obey
in
everything
those
who
are
your
earthly
masters,
not
by
way
of
eye-service,
as
people-pleasers,
but
with
sincerity
of
heart,
fearing
the
Lord.
3:23 Whatever
you
do,
work
heartily,
as
for
the
Lord
and
not
for
men,
3:24 knowing
that
from
the
Lord
you
will
receive
the
inheritance
as
your
reward.
You
are
serving
the
Lord
Christ.
3:25 For
the
wrongdoer
will
be
paid
back
for
the
wrong
he
has
done,
and
there
is
no
partiality.
