1If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. 3For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in God. 4When Messiah, who is our life, is manifested, then you also shall be manifested with him in glory. 5Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience: 7in which you also once walked, when you lived in these things; 8but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: 9do not lie to one another; seeing that you have put off the old man with his practices, 10and have put on the new man, which is being renewed to knowledge according to the image of him who created him: 11where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man; but Messiah is all, and in all. 12Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also must do: 14and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. 15And let the peace of Messiah rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them. 20Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 21Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they may not be discouraged. 22Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 23whatever you do, work heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men; 24knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: you serve the Lord Messiah. 25For he who does wrong shall receive back for the wrong that he has done: and there is no partiality.
