Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

For which things" sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
