Thereforeg3767 ifg1487 you have been  araisedg4891 up with Christg5547, keep seekingg2212 the things aboveg507, whereg3757 Christg5547 is,  bseatedg2521 at the rightg1188 handg1188 of Godg2316.

2

 1 aSetg5426 your mindg5426 on the things aboveg507, not on the things that are on earthg1093.

3

For you have  adiedg599 and your lifeg2222 is hiddeng2928 with Christg5547 in Godg2316.

4

Wheng3752 Christg5547,  awho is our lifeg2222, is revealedg5319,  btheng5119 you alsog2532 will be revealedg5319 with Him in gloryg1391.

 aThereforeg3767  1considerg3499  bthe membersg3196 of your earthlyg1093 body as deadg3499 to  2 cimmoralityg4202, impurityg167, passiong3806, evilg2556 desireg1939, and greedg4124, whichg3748  3amountsg1510 to idolatryg1495.

6

For it is becauseg1223 of theseg3739 thingsg3739 that  athe wrathg3709 of Godg2316 will comeg2064  1upon the sonsg5207 of disobedienceg545,

7

and  ain them you alsog2532 onceg4218 walkedg4043, wheng3753 you were livingg2198  1in them.

8

But nowg3570 you alsog2532,  aputg659 them allg3956 asideg659:  bangerg3709, wrathg2372, maliceg2549, slanderg988, and  cabusiveg148 speechg148 from your mouthg4750.

9

 1 aDo not lieg5574 to oneg240 anotherg240, since you  blaidg554 asideg554 the oldg3820  2selfg444 with its evil practicesg4234,

10

and have  aputg1746a on the newg3501b selfg3501b who is being  1 brenewedg341 to a trueg1922 knowledgeg1922  caccordingg2596 to the imageg1504 of the One who  dcreatedg2936 him--

11

a renewal in whichg3699  athereg1762 is nog3756 distinction between Greekg1672 and Jewg2453,  bcircumcisedg4061 and uncircumcisedg203,  1 cbarbariang915, Scythiang4658,  dslaveg1401 and freemang1658, but  eChristg5547 is allg3956, and in allg3956.

13

 abearingg430 with oneg240 anotherg240, and  bforgivingg5483 eachg1438 otherg1438, whoeverg1437g5100 hasg2192 a complaintg3437 againstg4314 anyoneg5100;  bjustg2531a as the Lordg2962 forgaveg5483 you, sog3779 alsog2532 should you.
