1: If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3: For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4: When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5: Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

7: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8: But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

9: Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

10: And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
