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.
yadi yūyaṁ khrīṣṭena sārddham utthāpitā abhavata tarhi yasmin sthāne khrīṣṭa īśvarasya dakṣiṇapārśve upaviṣṭa āste tasyorddhvasthānasya viṣayān ceṣṭadhvaṁ|
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
pārthivaviṣayeṣu na yatamānā ūrddhvasthaviṣayeṣu yatadhvaṁ|
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
yato yūyaṁ mṛtavanto yuṣmākaṁ jīvitañca khrīṣṭena sārddham īśvare guptam asti|
4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
asmākaṁ jīvanasvarūpaḥ khrīṣṭo yadā prakāśiṣyate tadā tena sārddhaṁ yūyamapi vibhavena prakāśiṣyadhve|
5 Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.
ato veśyāgamanam aśucikriyā rāgaḥ kutsitābhilāṣo devapūjātulyo lobhaścaitāni rpāthavapuruṣasyāṅgāni yuṣmābhi rnihanyantāṁ|
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
yata etebhyaḥ karmmabhya ājñālaṅghino lokān pratīśvarasya krodho varttate|
7 When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.
pūrvvaṁ yadā yūyaṁ tānyupājīvata tadā yūyamapi tānyevācarata;
8 But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
kintvidānīṁ krodho roṣo jihiṁsiṣā durmukhatā vadananirgatakadālapaścaitāni sarvvāṇi dūrīkurudhvaṁ|
9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,
yūyaṁ parasparaṁ mṛṣākathāṁ na vadata yato yūyaṁ svakarmmasahitaṁ purātanapuruṣaṁ tyaktavantaḥ
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
svasraṣṭuḥ pratimūrtyā tattvajñānāya nūtanīkṛtaṁ navīnapuruṣaṁ parihitavantaśca|
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.
tena ca yihūdibhinnajātīyayośchinnatvagacchinnatvaco rmlecchaskuthīyayo rdāsamuktayośca ko'pi viśeṣo nāsti kintu sarvveṣu sarvvaḥ khrīṣṭa evāste|
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
ataeva yūyam īśvarasya manobhilaṣitāḥ pavitrāḥ priyāśca lokā iva snehayuktām anukampāṁ hitaiṣitāṁ namratāṁ titikṣāṁ sahiṣṇutāñca paridhaddhvaṁ|
13 Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
yūyam ekaikasyācaraṇaṁ sahadhvaṁ yena ca yasya kimapyaparādhyate tasya taṁ doṣaṁ sa kṣamatāṁ, khrīṣṭo yuṣmākaṁ doṣān yadvad kṣamitavān yūyamapi tadvat kurudhvaṁ|
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.
viśeṣataḥ siddhijanakena premabandhanena baddhā bhavata|
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
yasyāḥ prāptaye yūyam ekasmin śarīre samāhūtā abhavata seśvarīyā śānti ryuṣmākaṁ manāṁsyadhitiṣṭhatu yūyañca kṛtajñā bhavata|
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.
khrīṣṭasya vākyaṁ sarvvavidhajñānāya sampūrṇarūpeṇa yuṣmadantare nivamatu, yūyañca gītai rgānaiḥ pāramārthikasaṅkīrttanaiśca parasparam ādiśata prabodhayata ca, anugṛhītatvāt prabhum uddiśya svamanobhi rgāyata ca|
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.
vācā karmmaṇā vā yad yat kuruta tat sarvvaṁ prabho ryīśo rnāmnā kuruta tena pitaram īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadata ca|
18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
he yoṣitaḥ, yūyaṁ svāmināṁ vaśyā bhavata yatastadeva prabhave rocate|
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
he svāminaḥ, yūyaṁ bhāryyāsu prīyadhvaṁ tāḥ prati paruṣālāpaṁ mā kurudhvaṁ|
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
he bālāḥ, yūyaṁ sarvvaviṣaye pitrorājñāgrāhiṇo bhavata yatastadeva prabhoḥ santoṣajanakaṁ|
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.
he pitaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ santānā yat kātarā na bhaveyustadarthaṁ tān prati mā roṣayata|
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.
he dāsāḥ, yūyaṁ sarvvaviṣaya aihikaprabhūnām ājñāgrāhiṇo bhavata dṛṣṭigocarīyasevayā mānavebhyo rocituṁ mā yatadhvaṁ kintu saralāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ prabho rbhātyā kāryyaṁ kurudhvaṁ|
23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,
yacca kurudhve tat mānuṣamanuddiśya prabhum uddiśya praphullamanasā kurudhvaṁ,
24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
yato vayaṁ prabhutaḥ svargādhikārarūpaṁ phalaṁ lapsyāmaha iti yūyaṁ jānītha yasmād yūyaṁ prabhoḥ khrīṣṭasya dāsā bhavatha|
25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
kintu yaḥ kaścid anucitaṁ karmma karoti sa tasyānucitakarmmaṇaḥ phalaṁ lapsyate tatra ko'pi pakṣapāto na bhaviṣyati|
