About Colossians 3"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above," for "your life is hid with Christ in God." So put off fornication, covetousness, anger, malice and lying, and put on "the new man," with mercy, kindness, meekness, forgiveness "even as Christ forgave you," and above all charity. Wives, husbands, children, fathers and servants are each told how to live, doing everything "heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."
