Put On the New Self
(Ephesians 4:17–32)

1If therefore ye be risen with Christ, seek things above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God. 2Think of things above, and not upon those upon the earth. 3For ye died, and your life has been hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ shall be manifested, our life, then also ye with him shall be made manifest in glory.

5Therefore kill your members that are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For these comes the Wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: 7In which also ye then walked, when ye lived in them. 8And now ye also put them all away; anger, wrath, badness, slander, shameful language out of your mouth. 9Lie not to one another, having put off the old man with big deeds; 10And having put on the new, being renewed in knowledge according to the image of him having created him: 11Where no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, free: but Christ all things, and in all.

12Put on therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassions, kindnesses, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13(Bearing one another, propitiating one another, if any have a complaint against any: as also Christ propitiated for you, so also ye.) 14And over all these, love, which is the bond of completion. 15And let the peace of God act as umpire in your hearts, to which also, ye were called in one body: and be grateful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in, you richly; teaching and reminding one another in all wisdom, playing with harps, and songs, and spiritual odes, with grace singing in your hearts to the Lord. 17And all whatever you do in word and in work, all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Christian Households
(Ephesians 6:1–4)

18Women, place yourselves under your own husbands, as was permitted in the Lord. 19Men, love ye the wives, and be not embittered against them. 20Children, listen to parents in all things: for this is pleasing to the Lord. 21Fathers, irritate not your children, lest they be discouraged.

Serving with Honor
(Ephesians 6:5–9; 1 Timothy 6:1–2)

22Servants, listen ye in all things to lords according to the flesh; not in eyeservice as pleasing men; but in simplicity of heart, fearing God: 23And all, whatever ye do, work ye from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to men; 24Knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25And he acting with injustice shall be taken care of for what he did unjustly: and there is no distinction of persons.
