Colossians 3:1-17
Put On the New Self

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

1:

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

2:

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

3:

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

4:

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

5:

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

6:

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

7:

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

8:

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

9:

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

10:

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

11:

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

12:

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.

13:

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

14:

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.

15:

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.

16:

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.

17:
