Bible Text  (Scroll to Verse)  [Copy]

1 If you then were raised up with Christ, continually desire what is above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God.
2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For you died, and your [zoe] life has been hidden away together with Christ in God.
 - DEATH
4 When Christ, [who is] our [zoe] life, is manifested, then you will also be manifested with him in [his] glory.
5 Put to death therefore your [bodily] members that are upon the earth; sexual immorality, uncleanness, evil desire, lust, and greed, which is idolatry:
6 Because of these the vengeance [orge] of God comes on the children of disobedience:
7 In which you also walked at one time, when you lived in them.
8 But now you also put off all these: seething anger [orge], explosive anger [thumos], malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Do not lie to one another, since you have discarded the old worn out you with its bad practices;
10 And have clothed yourself with the brand new you, which is continually being transformed into an experiential knowledge under the influence of the image that has been created:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the chosen ones of God, holy and loved by Him, hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience;
13 Bearing with each other, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against someone else: in the same way that Christ forgave you, so you should do the same.
14 And in addition to all of that [put on] [agape] love, which is the ligament that holds everything perfectly in place.
 - AGAPE - DIVINE LOVE
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you are called in one body; and be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ [the Anointed One] be continually resident in you in abundance with every kind of wisdom; teaching and counseling one another using music and song and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatever you are producing through both the things that you speak and the things that you carry out, everything should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, while continually giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it 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 is well pleasing to the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And whatever business you carry out, apply your whole being to it, as though it was for the Lord, and not for man;
 - PSUCHE - SOUL LIFE
24 Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward that is your eternal inheritance: for you are serving the Lord Christ.
25 But he that does wrong will receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
