   [continued from previous message]   
      
   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.   
      
   12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of   
   mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;   
      
   13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a   
   quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.   
      
   14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of   
   perfectness.   
      
   15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye   
   are called in one body; and be ye thankful.   
      
   16 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.   
      
   17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord   
   Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.   
      
   18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the   
   Lord.   
      
   19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.   
      
   20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing   
   unto the Lord.   
      
   21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.   
      
   22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not   
   with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:   
      
   23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;   
      
   24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the   
   inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.   
      
   25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath   
   done: and there is no respect of persons.   
      
   Colossians Chapter 4   
      
   1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing   
   that ye also have a Master in heaven.   
      
   2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;   
      
   3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of   
   utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:   
      
   4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.   
      
   5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.   
      
   6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may   
   know how ye ought to answer every man.   
      
   7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved   
   brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:   
      
   8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know   
   your estate, and comfort your hearts;   
      
   9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They   
   shall make known unto you all things which are done here.   
      
   10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son   
   to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto   
   you, receive him;)   
      
   11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These   
   only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a   
   comfort unto me.   
      
   12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you,   
   always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect   
   and complete in all the will of God.   
      
   13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them   
   that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.   
      
   14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.   
      
   15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the   
   church which is in his house.   
      
   16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also   
   in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle   
   from Laodicea.   
      
   17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast   
   received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.   
      
   18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be   
   with you. Amen. (Written from Rome to Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus.)
