Therefore, [fn]consider the members of your earthly body as dead to sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:6 - On account of these things, the wrath of God is coming [fn]upon the sons of disobedience,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:7 - and in them you also once walked, when you were living [fn]in them.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:11 - a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [fn]barbarian, Scythian, slave, and freeman, but Christ is all and in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:12 -

So, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and [fn]patience;

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:13 - bearing with one another, and graciously forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, just as the Lord graciously forgave you, so also should you.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:14 - Above all these things put on love, which is [fn]the perfect bond of unity.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:15 - And let the peace of Christ [fn]rule in your hearts, to which [fn]indeed you were called in one body, and [fn]be thankful.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:16 - Let the word of [fn]Christ dwell in you richly, [fn]with all wisdom teaching and admonishing [fn]one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing [fn]with gratefulness in your hearts to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:17 - And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters [fn]according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but with [fn]integrity of heart, fearing the Lord.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:23 - Whatever you do, do your work [fn]heartily, as for the Lord [fn]rather than for men,
