¹ Therefore, if you° were raised up together-with the Christ, seek° the things which are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

² Be° mindful of the things above, not the things upon the earth.

³ For$ you° died and your° life has been hidden together-with the Christ in God.

⁴ Whenever the Christ, who is the life of us, should be manifested, then you° will also be manifested together-with him in glory.

⁵ Therefore, make° your° members dead which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry,

⁶ because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,

⁷ among whom you° also previously walked, when you° were living in them.

⁸ But also now, place° all these things away from yourselves°: anger, fury, malice, blasphemy, obscene speech from your° mouth.

⁹ Do° not lie to one another, since you° stripped off the old man together-with his practices,

¹⁰ and after you° clothed yourselves with the new man, who is being renewed to the full knowledge according-to the image of the one who created him,

¹¹ where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free man, but Christ is all things and in all things.

¹² Therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, clothe° yourselves with a heart$ of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience,

¹³ tolerating one another and forgiving$ others in yourselves. If anyone has a complaint toward anyone, just-as the Christ forgave$ you°, so you° also forgive
