1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. NHEB — Colossians 3:1
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. NHEB — Colossians 3:2
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. NHEB — Colossians 3:3
4 When Christ, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory. NHEB — Colossians 3:4
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. NHEB — Colossians 3:5
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience. NHEB — Colossians 3:6
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them; NHEB — Colossians 3:7
8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. NHEB — Colossians 3:8
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices, NHEB — Colossians 3:9
10 and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, NHEB — Colossians 3:10
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all. NHEB — Colossians 3:11
12 Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience; NHEB — Colossians 3:12
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also do. NHEB — Colossians 3:13
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection. NHEB — Colossians 3:14
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. NHEB — Colossians 3:15
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to God. NHEB — Colossians 3:16
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him. NHEB — Colossians 3:17
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. NHEB — Colossians 3:18
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them. NHEB — Colossians 3:19
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord. NHEB — Colossians 3:20
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged. NHEB — Colossians 3:21
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as people-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord. NHEB — Colossians 3:22
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people, NHEB — Colossians 3:23
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. NHEB — Colossians 3:24
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality. NHEB — Colossians 3:25
