## Put On the New Man
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Therefore, if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
For you died and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
When Christ, who is our life, is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Therefore, consider the members of your earthly body as dead to sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
On account of these things, the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
But now you also, lay them all aside: wrath, anger, malice, slander, _and_ abusive speech from your mouth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Do not lie to one another, since you put off the old man with its _evil_ practices,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
and have put on the new man who is being renewed to a full knowledge according to the image of the One who created him--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
_a renewal_ in which there is no _distinction between_ Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, _and_ freeman, but Christ is all and in all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
So, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, _and_ patience;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
bearing with one another, and graciously forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, just as the Lord graciously forgave you, so also should you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Above all these things _put on_ love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body, and be thankful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms _and_ hymns _and_ spiritual songs, singing with gratefulness in your hearts to God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
And whatever you do in word or deed, _do_ all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Family and Work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but with integrity of heart, fearing the Lord.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. Serve the Lord Christ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.
