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 those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

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

Set your affection 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, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him 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 upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

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

For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

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

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

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

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication 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 that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

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 neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: 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, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

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 forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

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

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

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 rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are 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 one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to 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 whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 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, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

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

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

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

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

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

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

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 according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

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

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

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

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve 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 doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
