Colossians

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
