< Colossians 3 >

1 Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
ει ουν συνηγερθητε τω χριστω τα ανω ζητειτε ου ο χριστος εστιν εν δεξια του θεου καθημενος
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
τα ανω φρονειτε μη τα επι της γης
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
απεθανετε γαρ και η ζωη υμων κεκρυπται συν τω χριστω εν τω θεω
4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
οταν ο χριστος φανερωθη η ζωη ημων τοτε και υμεις συν αυτω φανερωθησεσθε εν δοξη
5 Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.
νεκρωσατε ουν τα μελη υμων τα επι της γης πορνειαν ακαθαρσιαν παθος επιθυμιαν κακην και την πλεονεξιαν ητις εστιν ειδωλολατρια
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
δι α ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας
7 When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.
εν οις και υμεις περιεπατησατε ποτε οτε εζητε εν αυτοις
8 But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
νυνι δε αποθεσθε και υμεις τα παντα οργην θυμον κακιαν βλασφημιαν αισχρολογιαν εκ του στοματος υμων
9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,
μη ψευδεσθε εις αλληλους απεκδυσαμενοι τον παλαιον ανθρωπον συν ταις πραξεσιν αυτου
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
και ενδυσαμενοι τον νεον τον ανακαινουμενον εις επιγνωσιν κατ εικονα του κτισαντος αυτον
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.
οπου ουκ ενι ελλην και ιουδαιος περιτομη και ακροβυστια βαρβαρος σκυθης δουλος ελευθερος αλλα τα παντα και εν πασιν χριστος
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
ενδυσασθε ουν ως εκλεκτοι του θεου αγιοι και ηγαπημενοι σπλαγχνα οικτιρμου χρηστοτητα ταπεινοφροσυνην πραοτητα μακροθυμιαν
13 Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
ανεχομενοι αλληλων και χαριζομενοι εαυτοις εαν τις προς τινα εχη μομφην καθως και ο χριστος εχαρισατο υμιν ουτως και υμεις
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.
επι πασιν δε τουτοις την αγαπην ητις εστιν συνδεσμος της τελειοτητος
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
και η ειρηνη του θεου βραβευετω εν ταις καρδιαις υμων εις ην και εκληθητε εν ενι σωματι και ευχαριστοι γινεσθε
16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
ο λογος του χριστου ενοικειτω εν υμιν πλουσιως εν παση σοφια διδασκοντες και νουθετουντες εαυτους ψαλμοις και υμνοις και ωδαις πνευματικαις εν χαριτι αδοντες εν τη καρδια υμων τω κυριω
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
και παν ο τι αν ποιητε εν λογω η εν εργω παντα εν ονοματι κυριου ιησου ευχαριστουντες τω θεω και πατρι δι αυτου
18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
αι γυναικες υποτασσεσθε τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ως ανηκεν εν κυριω
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας και μη πικραινεσθε προς αυτας
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
τα τεκνα υπακουετε τοις γονευσιν κατα παντα τουτο γαρ εστιν ευαρεστον εν κυριω
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.
οι πατερες μη ερεθιζετε τα τεκνα υμων ινα μη αθυμωσιν
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.
οι δουλοι υπακουετε κατα παντα τοις κατα σαρκα κυριοις μη εν οφθαλμοδουλιαις ως ανθρωπαρεσκοι αλλ εν απλοτητι καρδιας φοβουμενοι τον θεον
23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,
και παν ο τι εαν ποιητε εκ ψυχης εργαζεσθε ως τω κυριω και ουκ ανθρωποις
24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
ειδοτες οτι απο κυριου ληψεσθε την ανταποδοσιν της κληρονομιας τω γαρ κυριω χριστω δουλευετε
25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
ο δε αδικων κομιειται ο ηδικησεν και ουκ εστιν προσωποληψια
