Put On the New Self
13:1 ch. 2:12If then you have been raised with Christ, seek 3:1 [Phil. 3:14] the things that are above, where Christ is, 3:1 See Eph. 1:20seated at the right hand of God.
23:2 See Matt. 16:23Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
3For 3:3 ch. 2:20; See Rom. 6:2you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4When Christ 3:4 See John 11:25who is your3:4 Some manuscripts our life 3:4 [Phil. 3:21; 1 Pet. 1:1, 7, 13; 1 John 2:28; 3:2] appears, then you also will appear with him 3:4 1 Cor. 15:43in glory.
53:5 Rom. 8:13; [Gal. 5:24] Put to death therefore 3:5 Rom. 6:13what is earthly in you:3:5 Greek therefore your members that are on the earth3:5 See Eph. 5:3, 5sexual immorality, impurity, 3:5 Rom. 1:26passion, evil desire, and covetousness, 3:5 [Job 31:25, 26]which is idolatry.
63:6 See Eph. 5:6On account of these the wrath of God is coming.3:6 Some manuscripts add upon the sons of disobedience
73:7 See Eph. 2:2, 11In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.
8But now 3:8 See Eph. 4:22you must put them all away: 3:8 Eph. 4:31anger, wrath, malice, 3:8 See Eph. 4:29slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
93:9 Lev. 19:11; See Eph. 4:25Do not lie to one another, seeing that 3:9 ch. 2:11you have put off 3:9 Rom. 6:6; Eph. 4:22the old self3:9 Greek man; also as supplied in verse 10 with its practices
10and 3:10 Eph. 4:24have put on 3:10 See Rom. 6:4the new self, 3:10 See Rom. 12:2which is being renewed in knowledge 3:10 See Rom. 8:29after the image of 3:10 [Eph. 2:10]its creator.
113:11 [Rom. 10:12]; See 1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 5:6Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,3:11 For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface; likewise for Bondservants in verse 22 free; but Christ is 3:11 Eph. 1:23all, and in all.
123:12 ver. 10Put on then, as 3:12 Rom. 8:33God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, 3:12 Phil. 2:1compassionate hearts, 3:12 Eph. 4:32kindness, 3:12 See Eph. 4:2humility, meekness, and patience,
133:13 [See ver. 12above] bearing with one another and, 3:13 Mark 11:25if one has a complaint against another, 3:13 [See ver. 12above]forgiving each other; 3:13 [See ver. 12above]as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
14And above all these put on 3:14 [1 Thess. 5:8]; See Eph. 5:2love, which 3:14 Eph. 4:3binds everything together in 3:14 Heb. 6:1; [John 17:23]perfect harmony.
15And let 3:15 See Phil. 4:7the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called 3:15 Eph. 2:16in one body. And 3:15 ver. 17be thankful.
16Let 3:16 John 15:3the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, 3:16 See Eph. 5:19singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 3:16 ch. 4:6with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17And 3:17 ver. 23; 1 Cor. 10:31whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, 3:17 ch. 1:12; 4:2; See Eph. 5:20giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Rules for Christian Households
183:18 For ch. 3:18–4:1, see Eph. 5:22–6:9Wives, submit to your husbands, as 3:18 Eph. 5:4; Philem. 8is fitting in the Lord.
19Husbands, love your wives, and 3:19 Eph. 4:31do not be harsh with them.
20Children, obey your parents 3:20 [Eph. 5:24; Titus 2:9]in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
22Bondservants, obey 3:22 [See ver. 20above]in everything those who are your earthly masters,3:22 Or your masters according to the flesh not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
233:23 ver. 17Whatever you do, work heartily, 3:23 [Philem. 16]as for the Lord and not for men,
24knowing that from the Lord 3:24 [Eph. 6:8] you will receive the inheritance as your reward. 3:24 [1 Cor. 7:22]You are serving the Lord Christ.
25For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
