If then you folks were raised together with the Christ, look for the high things, where the Christ is seated at the right side of God; be mindful of the high things, not the things on the ground. Because you folks died and your life had been covered over in the earth together with the Christ by means of God; when the Christ is made visible, the life of you all, at that time you folks will also be made visible together with Him by means of what He is thought of.
Make then the body parts which are on the ground dead: whoring, dirtiness, passionate suffering, bad attachment, and the avarice which is idolatry, because of which things the passionate anger of God is coming upon the unpersuaded sons among whom also you folks walked at one time, when you were alive among them; yet at present you folks also undress yourselves from all these things: passionate anger, temper, hurtfulness, blasphemy, profanity from your mouth. Don’t lie to one another, having stripped off the old human being together with his activities and having been clothed with the young who is made new again for the knowledge which comes from observation lining up with the image of the One having created him, where there isn’t a Greek and Iudaean, circumcision and foreskin, a barbarian, a Skythian, a slave, a free person, but the Christ is the everything and within everything.
Clothe yourselves then, like the holy and dear chosen of God, with the deepest parts of compassion, kindness, humility, courtesy, a long temper, holding up one another and charitably giving to yourselves (if someone holds a cause of complaint in the direction of someone; just like also the Lord charitably gave to you, so also you folks), and love above all these things, which is what binds the finished work together. And let the peace of the Christ arbitrate within your hearts, as far as which also you were chosen in a single body; and become thankful. Let the message of the Christ indwell within you opulently, teaching and minding yourselves with every wisdom, with the charity of God singing psalms, hymns, spiritual odes with your hearts to God; and every single thing what ever you might do by means of message or thing achieved, everything with the name of the Lord Yeshua, thanking the God, Father through Him.
The women, be posted to the men like he is connected with the Lord. The men, love the women and don’t be made bitter towards them.
The children, obey the parents in line with everything, because this thing is pleasing with the Lord. The fathers, don’t incite your children to anger, so that they wouldn’t be discouraged.
The slaves, obey the owners in line with the flesh in line with everything, not with eye-service like human pleasers, but with sincerity of the heart fearing the owner. Whatever you might do, achieve from the soul like to the Lord and not to human beings, knowing that you will receive repayment of the inheritance from the Lord. You are enslaved to the Lord Christ; because the person doing wrong will be provided for what he did wrong, and there isn’t any favoritism.
