^{2 Ref} Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

^{3 Ref} For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

^{4 Ref} When Christ, `who is' our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.

^{5 Ref} Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

^{6 Ref} for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:

^{7 Ref} wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;

^{8 Ref} but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:

^{9 Ref} lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,

^{10 Ref} and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:

^{11 Ref} where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

^{12 Ref} Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

^{13 Ref} forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:

^{14 Ref} and above all these things `put on' love, which is the bond of perfectness.

^{15 Ref} And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.

^{16 Ref} Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms `and' hymns `and' spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.

^{17 Ref} And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, `do' all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
