Put On the New Self

(Ephesians 4:17–32)

3Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at [the] right hand of God. 2Set [your] minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your[fn] life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

5Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.[fn] 7When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways. 8But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, [and] filthy language from your lips.

9{Do} not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with [its] practices, 10and have put on the new [self], which is being renewed in knowledge in [the] image of [its] Creator. 11Here there is no Greek [or] Jew, circumcised [or] uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, [or] free, but Christ [is] all and [is] in all.

12Therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, [and] patience. 13Bear with one another and forgive [any] complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these [virtues] [put on] love, which is [the] bond of perfect unity. 15[Let] the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, [for] to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.

16{Let} the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, [and] as you sing psalms, hymns, [and] spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, in word or deed, [do it] all in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God [the] Father through Him.

Christian Households

(Ephesians 6:1–4)

18Wives, submit to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.

19Husbands, love [your] wives and {do} not be harsh with them.

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

21Fathers, {do} not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.

Serving with Honor

(Ephesians 6:5–9, 1 Timothy 6:1–2)

22Slaves, obey [your] earthly masters in everything, not [only] to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart [and] fear of the Lord.

23Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men, 24because you know that you will receive an inheritance from [the] Lord [as your] reward. [It is] the Lord Christ you are serving. 25Whoever does wrong will be repaid [for] his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
