Advice for Daily Living from the Book of Colossians

Walk worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work.

Increase in the knowledge of God.

Let no one deceive you with persuasive words.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit.

Seek those things which are Above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

Set your mind on things Above, not on things on the earth.

Put to death: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness.

Put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

Do not lie to one another.

Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another and forgiving one another.

Let the peace of God rule in your hearts.

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Children, obey your parents in all things for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
