Colossians 3
1 If, then, you were raised with the Christ, seek the things above, where the Christ is, seated on the right hand of God;
yadi yUyaM khrISTena sArddham utthApitA abhavata tarhi yasmin sthAne khrISTa Izvarasya dakSiNapArzve upaviSTa Aste tasyorddhvasthAnasya viSayAn ceSTadhvaM|
2 mind the things above, not the things on the earth,
pArthivaviSayeSu na yatamAnA UrddhvasthaviSayeSu yatadhvaM|
3 for you died, and your life has been hid with the Christ in God;
yato yUyaM mRtavanto yuSmAkaM jIvitaJca khrISTena sArddham Izvare guptam asti|
4 when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear with Him in glory.
asmAkaM jIvanasvarUpaH khrISTo yadA prakAziSyate tadA tena sArddhaM yUyamapi vibhavena prakAziSyadhve|
5 Put to death, then, your members that [are] on the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry—
ato vezyAgamanam azucikriyA rAgaH kutsitAbhilASo devapUjAtulyo lobhazcaitAni rpAthavapuruSasyAGgAni yuSmAbhi rnihanyantAM|
6 because of which things comes the anger of God on the sons of the disobedience,
yata etebhyaH karmmabhya AjJAlaGghino lokAn pratIzvarasya krodho varttate|
7 in which you also—you once walked, when you lived in them;
pUrvvaM yadA yUyaM tAnyupAjIvata tadA yUyamapi tAnyevAcarata;
8 but now put off, even you, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, slander, filthy talking—out of your mouth.
kintvidAnIM krodho roSo jihiMsiSA durmukhatA vadananirgatakadAlapazcaitAni sarvvANi dUrIkurudhvaM|
9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,
yUyaM parasparaM mRSAkathAM na vadata yato yUyaM svakarmmasahitaM purAtanapuruSaM tyaktavantaH
10 and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who created him,
svasraSTuH pratimUrtyA tattvajJAnAya nUtanIkRtaM navInapuruSaM parihitavantazca|
11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ [is] all and in all.
tena ca yihUdibhinnajAtIyayozchinnatvagacchinnatvaco rmlecchaskuthIyayo rdAsamuktayozca ko'pi vizeSo nAsti kintu sarvveSu sarvvaH khrISTa evAste|
12 Put on, therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, yearnings of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,
ataeva yUyam Izvarasya manobhilaSitAH pavitrAH priyAzca lokA iva snehayuktAm anukampAM hitaiSitAM namratAM titikSAM sahiSNutAJca paridhaddhvaM|
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone may have a quarrel with anyone, as the Christ also forgave you—so also you;
yUyam ekaikasyAcaraNaM sahadhvaM yena ca yasya kimapyaparAdhyate tasya taM doSaM sa kSamatAM, khrISTo yuSmAkaM doSAn yadvad kSamitavAn yUyamapi tadvat kurudhvaM|
14 and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,
vizeSataH siddhijanakena premabandhanena baddhA bhavata|
15 and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were also called in one body, and become thankful.
yasyAH prAptaye yUyam ekasmin zarIre samAhUtA abhavata sezvarIyA zAnti ryuSmAkaM manAMsyadhitiSThatu yUyaJca kRtajJA bhavata|
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the LORD;
khrISTasya vAkyaM sarvvavidhajJAnAya sampUrNarUpeNa yuSmadantare nivamatu, yUyaJca gItai rgAnaiH pAramArthikasaGkIrttanaizca parasparam Adizata prabodhayata ca, anugRhItatvAt prabhum uddizya svamanobhi rgAyata ca|
17 and all, whatever you may do in word or in work, [do] all things in the Name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through Him.
vAcA karmmaNA vA yad yat kuruta tat sarvvaM prabho ryIzo rnAmnA kuruta tena pitaram IzvaraM dhanyaM vadata ca|
18 The wives: be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the LORD;
he yoSitaH, yUyaM svAminAM vazyA bhavata yatastadeva prabhave rocate|
19 the husbands: love your wives, and do not be bitter with them;
he svAminaH, yUyaM bhAryyAsu prIyadhvaM tAH prati paruSAlApaM mA kurudhvaM|
20 the children: obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the LORD;
he bAlAH, yUyaM sarvvaviSaye pitrorAjJAgrAhiNo bhavata yatastadeva prabhoH santoSajanakaM|
21 the fathers: do not distress your children, lest they be discouraged;
he pitaraH, yuSmAkaM santAnA yat kAtarA na bhaveyustadarthaM tAn prati mA roSayata|
22 the servants: obey those who are masters in all things according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;
he dAsAH, yUyaM sarvvaviSaya aihikaprabhUnAm AjJAgrAhiNo bhavata dRSTigocarIyasevayA mAnavebhyo rocituM mA yatadhvaM kintu saralAntaHkaraNaiH prabho rbhAtyA kAryyaM kurudhvaM|
23 and all, whatever you may do—out of soul work—as to the LORD, and not to men,
yacca kurudhve tat mAnuSamanuddizya prabhum uddizya praphullamanasA kurudhvaM,
24 having known that you will receive the repayment of the inheritance from the LORD—for you serve the LORD Christ;
yato vayaM prabhutaH svargAdhikArarUpaM phalaM lapsyAmaha iti yUyaM jAnItha yasmAd yUyaM prabhoH khrISTasya dAsA bhavatha|
25 and he who is doing unrighteously will receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no favor by appearance.
kintu yaH kazcid anucitaM karmma karoti sa tasyAnucitakarmmaNaH phalaM lapsyate tatra ko'pi pakSapAto na bhaviSyati|
