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. |
