3 If then you were raised {with Christ},[fn] seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your minds on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, {your}[fn] life, is revealed, then [together][fn] you also will be revealed with him in glory.

5 Therefore, put to death your earthly members: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, [evil][fn] desire, and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things, the wrath of God comes [upon the sons of disobedience].[fn] 7 In {these things}[fn] you also once walked, when you lived in them.

8 But now [you also][fn] put away all these things: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, and shameful speech from your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another, having stripped off the old man[fn] with his practices 10 and having put on the new, the one being renewed for knowledge according to the image of the one who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but [the][fn] all and in all is Christ.

12 Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on {compassion, mercy,}[fn] kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving each other if anyone has a complaint against anyone. Just as {the Lord}[fn] forgave you, so also should you. 14 Above all these, love, which is the bond of perfection.

15 And let the peace of {Christ}[fn] rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in [one][fn] body; and be thankful.

16 Let the word of {Christ}[fn] dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with [the][fn] grace in your {hearts to God}.[fn] 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of {the Lord Jesus},[fn] giving thanks to God [[and]][fn] the Father through him.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in {the Lord}.[fn]

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they do not become discouraged.

22 Slaves[fn] obey [in all things][fn] your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service as people-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing {the Lord}.[fn]

23 [[And]][fn] Whatever you do, work heartily, as for [[serving]][fn] the Lord and not for men, 24 Knowing that from the Lord you will receive {the}[fn] inheritance as your reward. [[For]][fn] You are serving the Lord Christ.

25 {For}[fn] the one who does wrong will be repaid for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
