          DASV: Colossians 3    

1 So if you were raised with Christ, seek things above, where
Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your mind on the things above, not on things on earth,
3 for you have died, and your new life is hidden with Christ
in God.
4 When Christ, who is your life, is revealed, then you too
will be revealed in glory with him.
5 So put to death your earthly actions: sexual immorality,
impurity, ungodly passion, evil desire, and greed, which is
idolatry.
6 Because of doing these sins, the wrath of God is coming on
those who are disobedient.
7 You also did these things when you lived among them.
8 But now strip off anger, wrath, malice, and abusive language
from your mouth.
9 Do not lie to each other, since you have put off sinful
practices reflective of that old, dead self
10 and have put on the new self, that is being renewed in
knowledge according to the image of its Creator.
11 So there is no Greek or Jew, circumcision or uncircumcision,
barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Clothe yourselves, therefore, as God's chosen, holy and
beloved, with a heart of compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness, and patience.
13 Bear with one another, and forgive each other. If anyone
has a complaint against anyone else, as the Lord forgave you,
forgive them.
14 Above all these things clothe yourselves with love,
which unites everything in perfect harmony.
15 Let the peace of Christ control your hearts. For you
were called as part of one body to peace. And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and
exhorting one another in all wisdom with psalms, hymns and
spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to
God.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh to them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases
the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not be
discouraged.
22 Servants, obey your earthly masters in everything and not
only when they are watching but seek to please them with
a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.
23 Whatever you do, work at it heartily, with enthusiasm as
to the Lord, and not for men,
24 knowing that you will receive the reward as an inheritance
from the Lord. Serve the Lord Christ.
25 For the one who does wrong will be repaid for the wrong
that he has done, and there are no exceptions.
