[1<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-1) IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. ^1
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. ^2
[3<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ^3
[4<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-4) When Christ, _who_ _is_ our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. ^4
[5<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: ^5
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience: ^6
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. ^7
[8<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. ^8
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; ^9
10 And have put on the new _man_, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: ^10
[11<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-11) Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond _nor_ free: but Christ _is_ all, and in all. ^11
[12<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-12) Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; ^12
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also _do_ ye. ^13
[14<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-14) And above all these things _put_ _on_ charity, which is the bond of perfectness. ^14
[15<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. ^15
[16<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-16) Let 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. ^16
17 And 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. ^17
[18<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-18) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. ^18
19 Husbands, love _your_ wives, and be not bitter against them. ^19
[20<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-20) Children, obey _your_ parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. ^20
21 Fathers, provoke not your children _to_ _anger_, lest they be discouraged. ^21
[22<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-22) Servants, obey in all things _your_ masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: ^22
23 And whatsoever ye do, do _it_ heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; ^23
[24<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-24) Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. ^24
[25<sup>↗](Colossians%203%20FSI.md#^col3-25) But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons. ^25
