Colossians 3
1 If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
Εἰ οὖν συνηγέρθητε τῷ ˚Χριστῷ, τὰ ἄνω ζητεῖτε, οὗ ὁ ˚Χριστός ἐστιν, ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ καθήμενος.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Τὰ ἄνω φρονεῖτε, μὴ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
3 For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Ἀπεθάνετε γάρ, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν κέκρυπται σὺν τῷ ˚Χριστῷ ἐν τῷ ˚Θεῷ.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.
Ὅταν ὁ ˚Χριστὸς φανερωθῇ, ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν, τότε καὶ ὑμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ φανερωθήσεσθε ἐν δόξῃ.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Νεκρώσατε οὖν τὰ μέλη τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς: πορνείαν, ἀκαθαρσίαν, πάθος, ἐπιθυμίαν κακήν, καὶ τὴν πλεονεξίαν, ἥτις ἐστὶν εἰδωλολατρία,
6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:
διʼ ἃ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ,
7 In the which you also walked some time, when you lived in them.
ἐν οἷς καὶ ὑμεῖς περιεπατήσατέ ποτε ὅτε ἐζῆτε ἐν τούτοις.
8 But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Νυνὶ δὲ ἀπόθεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς τὰ πάντα: ὀργήν, θυμόν, κακίαν, βλασφημίαν, αἰσχρολογίαν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;
Μὴ ψεύδεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους, ἀπεκδυσάμενοι τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον σὺν ταῖς πράξεσιν αὐτοῦ,
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν νέον, τὸν ἀνακαινούμενον εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν, κατʼ εἰκόνα τοῦ κτίσαντος αὐτόν,
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
ὅπου οὐκ ἔνι Ἕλλην καὶ Ἰουδαῖος, περιτομὴ καὶ ἀκροβυστία, βάρβαρος, Σκύθης, δοῦλος, ἐλεύθερος, ἀλλὰ πάντα καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν ˚Χριστός.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
Ἐνδύσασθε οὖν, ὡς ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἅγιοι καὶ ἠγαπημένοι, σπλάγχνα οἰκτιρμοῦ, χρηστότητα, ταπεινοφροσύνην, πραΰτητα, μακροθυμίαν,
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.
ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων καὶ χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς, ἐάν τις πρός τινα ἔχῃ μομφήν· καθὼς καὶ ὁ ˚Κύριος ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.
Ἐπὶ πᾶσιν δὲ τούτοις, τὴν ἀγάπην, ὅ ἐστιν σύνδεσμος τῆς τελειότητος.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in one body; and be you thankful.
Καὶ ἡ εἰρήνη τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ βραβευέτω ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, εἰς ἣν καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι· καὶ εὐχάριστοι γίνεσθε.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ ἐνοικείτω ἐν ὑμῖν πλουσίως ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ, διδάσκοντες καὶ νουθετοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ψαλμοῖς, ὕμνοις, ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ἐν τῇ χάριτι ᾄδοντες ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν τῷ ˚Θεῷ.
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Καὶ πᾶν, ὅ τι ἐὰν ποιῆτε ἐν λόγῳ ἢ ἐν ἔργῳ, πάντα ἐν ὀνόματι ˚Κυρίου ˚Ἰησοῦ, εὐχαριστοῦντες τῷ ˚Θεῷ Πατρὶ διʼ αὐτοῦ.
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Αἱ γυναῖκες, ὑποτάσσεσθε τοῖς ἀνδράσιν, ὡς ἀνῆκεν ἐν ˚Κυρίῳ.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας, καὶ μὴ πικραίνεσθε πρὸς αὐτάς.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
Τὰ τέκνα, ὑπακούετε τοῖς γονεῦσιν κατὰ πάντα, τοῦτο γὰρ εὐάρεστόν ἐστιν ἐν ˚Κυρίῳ.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Οἱ πατέρες, μὴ ἐρεθίζετε τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, ἵνα μὴ ἀθυμῶσιν.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
Οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε κατὰ πάντα τοῖς κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις, μὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοδουλεία, ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι, ἀλλʼ ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας, φοβούμενοι τὸν ˚Κύριον.
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
Ὃ ἐὰν ποιῆτε, ἐκ ψυχῆς ἐργάζεσθε, ὡς τῷ ˚Κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις,
24 Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.
εἰδότες ὅτι ἀπὸ ˚Κυρίου ἀπολήμψεσθε τὴν ἀνταπόδοσιν τῆς κληρονομίας. Τῷ ˚Κυρίῳ ˚Χριστῷ δουλεύετε.
25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
Ὁ γὰρ ἀδικῶν, κομιεῖται ὃ ἠδίκησεν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν προσωπολημψία.
