1Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.4When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.5Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:7When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;8But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:9Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.12Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;13Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:14And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.16Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.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 the Lord.Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.Let the word of Christ 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 unto God.17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.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.And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.18Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.19Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.21Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.22Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:Servants, obey in all things them that 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 at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;24because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.25Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
