¹ If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated on the right hand of God.

² Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

³ For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in God.

⁴ When Messiah, your¹ life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

⁵ Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

⁶ for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁷ You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;

⁸ but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

⁹ Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

¹¹ where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Messiah is all, and in all.

¹² Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as the Lord¹ forgave you, so you also do.

¹⁴ Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

¹⁵ And let the peace of Messiah¹ rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

¹⁶ Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to God¹.

¹⁷ Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

¹⁸ Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

²¹ Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.

²² Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord¹.

²³ And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Messiah.

²⁵ But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
