[1] If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ 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 Christ in God. [4] When Christ, 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 must 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 Christ 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 Christ 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 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. [17] 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. [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 Christ. [25] But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
King James Version

His Sovereign Will

[1] If G1487 ye G4891 then G3767 be risen G4891 with Christ, G5547 seek G2212 those things which G3588 are above, G507 where G3757 Christ G5547 G2076 sitteth G2521 on G1722 the right hand G1188 of God. G2316 [2] Set your affection G5426§ on things G3588 above, G507 not G3361 on things G3588 on G1909 the G3588 earth. G1093 [3] For G1063 ye are dead, G599 and G2532 your G5216 life G2222 is hid G2928 with G4862 Christ G5547 in G1722 God. G2316 [4] When G3752 Christ, G5547 who is our G2257 life, G2222 shall appear, G5319 then G5119 shall G5319 ye G5210 also G2532 appear G5319 with G4862 him G846 in G1722 glory. G1391 [5] Mortify G3499 therefore G3767 your G5216 members G3196 which G3588 are upon G1909 the G3588 earth; G1093 fornication, G4202 uncleanness, G167 inordinate affection, G3806 evil G2556 concupiscence, G1939 and G2532 covetousness, G4124 which G3748 is G2076 idolatry: G1495 [6] for G1223 which things’ sake G3739 the G3588 wrath G3709 of God G2316 cometh G2064 on G1909 the G3588 children G5207 of disobedience: G543 [7] in G1722 the which G3739 ye G5210 also G2532 walked G4043 some time, G4218 when G3753 ye lived G2198 in G1722 them. G846 [8] But G1161 now G3570 ye G5210 also G2532 put off G659 all these; G3956 anger, G3709 wrath, G2372 malice, G2549 blasphemy, G988 filthy communication G148 out of G1537 your G5216 mouth. G4750 [9] Lie G5574 not G3361 one G240 to G1519 another, G240 seeing that ye have put off G554 the G3588 old G3820 man G444 with G4862 his G846 deeds; G4234 [10] and G2532 have put on G1746 the G3588 new G3501 man, which G3588 is renewed G341 in G1519 knowledge G1922 after G2596 the image G1504 of him G3588 that created G2936 him: G846 [11] where G3699 there is G1762 neither G3756 Greek G1672 nor G2532 Jew, G2453 circumcision G4061 nor G2532 uncircumcision, G203 Barbarian, G915 Scythian, G4658 bond G1401 nor free: G1658 but G235 Christ G5547 is all, G3956 and G2532 in G1722 all. G3956 [12] Put on G1746 therefore, G3767 as G5613 the elect G1588 of God, G2316 holy G40 and G2532 beloved, G25 bowels G4698 of mercies, G3628 kindness, G5544 humbleness of mind, G5012 meekness, G4236 longsuffering; G3115 [13] forbearing G430 one another, G240 and G2532 forgiving G5483 one another, G1438 if G1437 any man G5100 have G2192 a quarrel G3437§ against G4314 any: G5100 even as G2531 Christ G5547 forgave G5483 you, G5213 so G3779 also G2532 do ye. G5210 [14] And G1161 above G1909 all G3956 these things G5125 put on charity, G26 which G3748 is G2076 the bond G4886 of perfectness. G5047 [15] And G2532 let G1018 the G3588 peace G1515 of God G2316 rule G1018 in G1722 your G5216 hearts, G2588 to G1519 the which G3739 also G2532 ye are called G2564 in G1722 one G1520 body; G4983 and G2532 be ye G1096 thankful. G2170 [16] Let G1774 the G3588 word G3056 of Christ G5547 dwell G1774 in G1722 you G5213 richly G4146 in G1722 all G3956 wisdom; G4678 teaching G1321 and G2532 admonishing G3560 one another G1438 in psalms G5568 and G2532 hymns G5215 and G2532 spiritual G4152 songs, G5603 singing G103 with G1722 grace G5485 in G1722 your G5216 hearts G2588 to the G3588 Lord. G2962 [17] And G2532 whatsoever G3956 G3739 G5100 G302 ye do G4160 in G1722 word G3056 or G2228 G1722 deed, G2041 do all G3956 in G1722 the name G3686 of the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 giving thanks G2168 to God G2316 and G2532 the Father G3962 by G1223 him. G846 [18] Wives, G1135 submit yourselves G5293 unto your G3588 own G2398 husbands, G435 as G5613 it is fit G433 in G1722 the Lord. G2962 [19] Husbands, G435 love G25 your wives, G1135 and G2532 be G4087 not G3361 bitter G4087 against G4314 them. G846 [20] Children, G5043 obey G5219 your parents G1118 in G2596 all things: G3956 for G1063 this G5124 is G2076 well pleasing G2101 unto the G3588 Lord. G2962 [21] Fathers, G3962 provoke G2042 not G3361 your G5216 children G5043 to anger, lest G2443 G3361 they be discouraged. G120 [22] Servants, G1401 obey G5219 in G2596 all things G3956 your masters G2962 according to G2596 the flesh; G4561 not G3361 with G1722 eyeservice, G3787 as G5613 menpleasers; G441 but G235 in G1722 singleness G572 of heart, G2588 fearing G5399 God: G2316 [23] and G2532 whatsoever G3956 G3739 G5100 G1437 ye do, G4160 do G2038 it heartily, G1537 G5590 as G5613 to the G3588 Lord, G2962 and G2532 not G3756 unto men; G444 [24] knowing G1492 that G3754 of G575 the Lord G2962 ye shall receive G618 the G3588 reward G469 of the G3588 inheritance: G2817 for G1063 ye serve G1398 the G3588 Lord G2962 Christ. G5547 [25] But G1161 he that G3588 doeth wrong G91 shall receive G2865 for the wrong G91 which G3739 he hath done: G91 and G2532 there is G2076 no G3756 respect of persons. G4382
