Colossians 3:4-18

⁴When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

⁵Therefore, treat the parts of your earthly body as dead to sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. ⁶For it is because of these things that the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, ⁷and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. ⁸But now you also, rid yourselves of all of them: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene speech from your mouth. ⁹Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, ¹⁰and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it— ¹¹a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free, but Christ is all, and in all.

¹²So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; ¹³bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. ¹⁴In addition to all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. ¹⁵Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful. ¹⁶Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ¹⁷Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

¹⁸Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
