things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods; <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders; <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk; <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings, <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker; <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things; <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you: <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord: <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men; <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man&#8217;s position. <\/br><script
