Colossians 3
1 So if you've been brought back to life with Christ, look for what comes from above, where Christ is, sitting at God's right hand.
ει ουν συνηγερθητε τω χριστω τα ανω ζητειτε ου ο χριστος εστιν εν δεξια του θεου καθημενος
2 Fix your mind on what's above, not what's here on earth.
τα ανω φρονειτε μη τα επι της γης
3 You died, and your life is kept safe with Christ in God.
απεθανετε γαρ και η ζωη υμων κεκρυπται συν τω χριστω εν τω θεω
4 When Christ—your life—is revealed, then you will also share in his visible glory.
οταν ο χριστος φανερωθη η ζωη ημων τοτε και υμεις συν αυτω φανερωθησεσθε εν δοξη
5 So kill your worldly nature—sexual sin, immorality, lust, evil desires, greedily wanting to have more—this is the worship of idols.
νεκρωσατε ουν τα μελη υμων τα επι της γης πορνειαν ακαθαρσιαν παθος επιθυμιαν κακην και την πλεονεξιαν ητις εστιν ειδωλολατρεια
6 Because of such things, those who disobey experience God's judgment.
δι α ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας
7 At one time you lived like that when you behaved in such a way,
εν οις και υμεις περιεπατησατε ποτε οτε εζητε εν αυτοις
8 but now you should get rid of such things as anger, rage, wickedness, abuse, and using obscenities.
νυνι δε αποθεσθε και υμεις τα παντα οργην θυμον κακιαν βλασφημιαν αισχρολογιαν εκ του στοματος υμων
9 Don't lie to each other, since you've discarded your old self and what you used to do,
μη ψευδεσθε εις αλληλους απεκδυσαμενοι τον παλαιον ανθρωπον συν ταις πραξεσιν αυτου
10 and put on your new self that is always being made more like your Creator, understanding better who he really is.
και ενδυσαμενοι τον νεον τον ανακαινουμενον εις επιγνωσιν κατ εικονα του κτισαντος αυτον
11 In this new situation there's no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, foreigner, barbarian, slave or free, for Christ is everything, and he lives in all of us.
οπου ουκ ενι ελλην και ιουδαιος περιτομη και ακροβυστια βαρβαρος σκυθης δουλος ελευθερος αλλα τα παντα και εν πασιν χριστος
12 Since you are God's special people, holy and dearly loved, adopt a sympathetic nature that is kind, humble, gentle, and patient.
ενδυσασθε ουν ως εκλεκτοι του θεου αγιοι και ηγαπημενοι σπλαγχνα οικτιρμων χρηστοτητα ταπεινοφροσυνην πραοτητα μακροθυμιαν
13 Be patient with one another, forgive others among you if you have grievances against one another. Just as the Lord forgave you, you should do the same.
ανεχομενοι αλληλων και χαριζομενοι εαυτοις εαν τις προς τινα εχη μομφην καθως και ο χριστος εχαρισατο υμιν ουτως και υμεις
14 Above all, love one another, which is the perfect bond that will hold you together.
επι πασιν δε τουτοις την αγαπην ητις εστιν συνδεσμος της τελειοτητος
15 May the peace of Christ direct your thinking, because you were called to this by God who makes you one, and thank God for it!
και η ειρηνη του θεου βραβευετω εν ταις καρδιαις υμων εις ην και εκληθητε εν ενι σωματι και ευχαριστοι γινεσθε
16 Let Christ's message fully live in you. In every wise way teach and instruct one another through psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing praises to God in gratitude and sincerity.
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 Whatever you do, whether in word or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, praising 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 You married women, respect your husbands appropriately in the Lord.
αι γυναικες υποτασσεσθε τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ως ανηκεν εν κυριω
19 You married men, love your wives and don't treat them badly.
οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας και μη πικραινεσθε προς αυτας
20 You children, always do what your parents tell you because this is what pleases the Lord.
τα τεκνα υπακουετε τοις γονευσιν κατα παντα τουτο γαρ εστιν ευαρεστον τω κυριω
21 You fathers, don't make your children mad, so they won't feel like giving up.
οι πατερες μη ερεθιζετε τα τεκνα υμων ινα μη αθυμωσιν
22 Those of you who are servants, do everything your human masters tell you, not with just an eye to please them, but honestly and sincerely, respecting the Lord.
οι δουλοι υπακουετε κατα παντα τοις κατα σαρκα κυριοις μη εν οφθαλμοδουλειαις ως ανθρωπαρεσκοι αλλ εν απλοτητι καρδιας φοβουμενοι τον θεον
23 Do whatever you do really well, as if you're doing it for God, and not for people,
και παν ο τι εαν ποιητε εκ ψυχης εργαζεσθε ως τω κυριω και ουκ ανθρωποις
24 because you know that the Lord will give you your reward—an inheritance! You're serving Christ the Lord!
ειδοτες οτι απο κυριου αποληψεσθε την ανταποδοσιν της κληρονομιας τω γαρ κυριω χριστω δουλευετε
25 Whoever does what's wrong will be paid back for the wrong they've done, and God has no favorites.
ο δε αδικων κομιειται ο ηδικησεν και ουκ εστιν προσωποληψια
