Colossians 3

1 If then you were raised together with Meshikha, seek the things that are above, where Meshikha is, seated on the right hand of God.

IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

Fix your minds on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Meshikha in God.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Meshikha, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested in glory.

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience.

for which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience;

7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;

in which ye also walked formerly when ye lived among them:

8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

but now ye have put away all these things, anger, asperity, malice, scandal, obscenity, out of your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,

Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his practices;

10 and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that created him.

11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Meshikha is all, and in all.

Where there is no difference whether a man be Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or freeman: but Christ is all and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering;

13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also do.

forbearing one another, and freely forgiving one another, if any man hath a complaint against another: even as Christ hath freely forgiven you, so also do ye.

14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

15 And let the peace of Meshikha rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

And let the peace of God set up its throne in your hearts, whereunto also ye have been called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16 Let the word of Meshikha dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to God.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing with grace in your heart unto the Lord.

17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

And everything that ye do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

Wives be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.

Husbands, love your wives, and use no asperity against them.

20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

Children, be obedient to your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.

Parents, irritate not your children, lest their spirit be broken.

22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as people-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.

Servants, obey in all things your masters after the flesh, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but, in simplicity of heart, fearing God.

23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,

And in every thing that ye do, labour from the soul, as for the Lord, and not man;

24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Meshikha.

knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye are servants to the Lord Christ.

25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

But he that is guilty of injustice shall receive punishment for the wrong he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
