Colossians 3
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.🔗🔍
2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.🔗🔍
3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.🔗🔍
4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.🔗🔍
5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:🔗🔍
6For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:🔗🔍
7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.🔗🔍
8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.🔗🔍
9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;🔗🔍
10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:🔗🔍
11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.🔗🔍
12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;🔗🔍
13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.🔗🔍
14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.🔗🔍
15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.🔗🔍
16Let 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.🔗🔍
17And 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.🔗🔍
18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.🔗🔍
19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.🔗🔍
20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.🔗🔍
21Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.🔗🔍
22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:🔗🔍
23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;🔗🔍
24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.🔗🔍
25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.🔗🔍
