[1] If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated on the right hand of God.
[2] Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
[3] For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in God.
[4] When Messiah, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
[5] Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
[6] For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
[7] You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
[8] but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
[9] Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
[10] and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
[11] where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Messiah is all, and in all.
[12] Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
[13] bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Messiah forgave you, so you also do.
[14] Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
[15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
[16] Let the word of Messiah 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.
[17] 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.
[18] Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
[20] Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
[21] Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
[22] 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.
[23] And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,
[24] knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Messiah.
[25] But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
