Colossians 3

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

If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting 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.

have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;

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

for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.

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

When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested 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.

Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.

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

On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

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

In which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.

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

But now, put off, ye also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.

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

Do not lie to one another, having 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 having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;

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

wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, 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 compassion, kindness, lowliness, 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 should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.

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

And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.

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

And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.

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

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

And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.

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

Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting 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 in [the] Lord.

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

Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.

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.

Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.

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

Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;

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

knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; 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.

For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
