Colossians 3
1 Furthermore, since you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, sitting at God's right;
yadi yūyaṁ khrīṣṭena sārddham utthāpitā abhavata tarhi yasmin sthāne khrīṣṭa īśvarasya dakṣiṇapārśve upaviṣṭa āste tasyorddhvasthānasya viṣayān ceṣṭadhvaṁ|
2 set your mind on the things above, not on those upon the earth,
pārthivaviṣayeṣu na yatamānā ūrddhvasthaviṣayeṣu yatadhvaṁ|
3 because you died and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.
yato yūyaṁ mṛtavanto yuṣmākaṁ jīvitañca khrīṣṭena sārddham īśvare guptam asti|
4 Whenever Christ, our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
asmākaṁ jīvanasvarūpaḥ khrīṣṭo yadā prakāśiṣyate tadā tena sārddhaṁ yūyamapi vibhavena prakāśiṣyadhve|
5 Therefore put to death your members that are on the earth: fornication, filthiness, passion, evil desire, and the greediness that is idolatry.
ato veśyāgamanam aśucikriyā rāgaḥ kutsitābhilāṣo devapūjātulyo lobhaścaitāni rpāthavapuruṣasyāṅgāni yuṣmābhi rnihanyantāṁ|
6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of the disobedience,
yata etebhyaḥ karmmabhya ājñālaṅghino lokān pratīśvarasya krodho varttate|
7 in which things you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
pūrvvaṁ yadā yūyaṁ tānyupājīvata tadā yūyamapi tānyevācarata;
8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all these—anger, rage, malice, slander, obscene speech—out of your mouth.
kintvidānīṁ krodho roṣo jihiṁsiṣā durmukhatā vadananirgatakadālapaścaitāni sarvvāṇi dūrīkurudhvaṁ|
9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old man with his practices
yūyaṁ parasparaṁ mṛṣākathāṁ na vadata yato yūyaṁ svakarmmasahitaṁ purātanapuruṣaṁ tyaktavantaḥ
10 and have put on the new one, who is being renewed into real knowledge according to the image of his Creator,
svasraṣṭuḥ pratimūrtyā tattvajñānāya nūtanīkṛtaṁ navīnapuruṣaṁ parihitavantaśca|
11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.
tena ca yihūdibhinnajātīyayośchinnatvagacchinnatvaco rmlecchaskuthīyayo rdāsamuktayośca ko'pi viśeṣo nāsti kintu sarvveṣu sarvvaḥ khrīṣṭa evāste|
12 Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience;
ataeva yūyam īśvarasya manobhilaṣitāḥ pavitrāḥ priyāśca lokā iva snehayuktām anukampāṁ hitaiṣitāṁ namratāṁ titikṣāṁ sahiṣṇutāñca paridhaddhvaṁ|
13 bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone should have a complaint against another—just as the Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
yūyam ekaikasyācaraṇaṁ sahadhvaṁ yena ca yasya kimapyaparādhyate tasya taṁ doṣaṁ sa kṣamatāṁ, khrīṣṭo yuṣmākaṁ doṣān yadvad kṣamitavān yūyamapi tadvat kurudhvaṁ|
14 And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
viśeṣataḥ siddhijanakena premabandhanena baddhā bhavata|
15 Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, into which also you were called in 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 dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing with grace in your heart to the Lord, with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.
khrīṣṭasya vākyaṁ sarvvavidhajñānāya sampūrṇarūpeṇa yuṣmadantare nivamatu, yūyañca gītai rgānaiḥ pāramārthikasaṅkīrttanaiśca parasparam ādiśata prabodhayata ca, anugṛhītatvāt prabhum uddiśya svamanobhi rgāyata ca|
17 Whatever you may do in word or deed, do 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, subordinate yourselves to your own 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 embittered against them.
he svāminaḥ, yūyaṁ bhāryyāsu prīyadhvaṁ tāḥ prati paruṣālāpaṁ mā kurudhvaṁ|
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, because this is well pleasing in the Lord.
he bālāḥ, yūyaṁ sarvvaviṣaye pitrorājñāgrāhiṇo bhavata yatastadeva prabhoḥ santoṣajanakaṁ|
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children so that they lose heart.
he pitaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ santānā yat kātarā na bhaveyustadarthaṁ tān prati mā roṣayata|
22 Slaves, obey your masters (according to the flesh) in all things, not just when they are looking, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.
he dāsāḥ, yūyaṁ sarvvaviṣaya aihikaprabhūnām ājñāgrāhiṇo bhavata dṛṣṭigocarīyasevayā mānavebhyo rocituṁ mā yatadhvaṁ kintu saralāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ prabho rbhātyā kāryyaṁ kurudhvaṁ|
23 And whatever you do, give it all you've got, as to the Lord and not to men,
yacca kurudhve tat mānuṣamanuddiśya prabhum uddiśya praphullamanasā kurudhvaṁ,
24 knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the inheritance as a reward; because you serve the Lord Christ.
yato vayaṁ prabhutaḥ svargādhikārarūpaṁ phalaṁ lapsyāmaha iti yūyaṁ jānītha yasmād yūyaṁ prabhoḥ khrīṣṭasya dāsā bhavatha|
25 (But he who does wrong will be repaid for this wrong, and there is no favoritism.)
kintu yaḥ kaścid anucitaṁ karmma karoti sa tasyānucitakarmmaṇaḥ phalaṁ lapsyate tatra ko'pi pakṣapāto na bhaviṣyati|
