Colossians 3:1-15 (KJV)
[1] If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on
the right hand of God.
[2] Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
[3] For ye are dead, and your life is
hid with Christ in God.
[4] When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
[5] Mortify therefore your members which are
upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:
[6] For which things' sake the wrath of
God cometh on the children of disobedience:
[7] In the which ye also walked some time,
when ye lived in them.
[8] But now ye also put off all these; anger,
wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication
out of your mouth.
[9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have
put off the old man with his deeds;
[10] And have put on the new man, which is
renewed in knowledge after the image of
him that created him:
[11] Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian,
Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all,
and in all.
[12] Put on therefore, as the elect of God,
holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
[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.
[14] And above all these things put on charity,
which is the bond of perfectness.
[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.
