Colossians 3 KJV: Hidden with Christ: The Ethics of the New Life
Colossians 3 articulates the believer's new orientation toward 'things above' where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. It provides a list of 'earthly members' that must be put to death and a 'wardrobe' of virtues that must be put on as the new humanity. The chapter concludes with specific household instructions for wives, husbands, children, and servants, all to be done in the name of the Lord.
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
