## 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.
