Colossians - Chapter 3

	Col 3:1	Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
	Col 3:2	Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
	Col 3:3	For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
	Col 3:4	When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
	Col 3:5	Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.
	Col 3:6	For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,
	Col 3:7	and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.
	Col 3:8	But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, {and} abusive speech from your mouth.
	Col 3:9	Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its {evil} practices,
	Col 3:10	and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him--
	Col 3:11	{a renewal} in which there is no {distinction between} Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.
	Col 3:12	So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;
	Col 3:13	bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.
	Col 3:14	Beyond all these things {put on} love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
	Col 3:15	Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
	Col 3:16	Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms {and} hymns {and} spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
	Col 3:17	Whatever you do in word or deed, {do} all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
	Col 3:18	Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
	Col 3:19	Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
	Col 3:20	Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
	Col 3:21	Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.
	Col 3:22	Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who {merely} please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
	Col 3:23	Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,
	Col 3:24	knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
	Col 3:25	For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.
