< Colossians 3 >

1 IF, then, you have risen with the Meshiha, seek (the realities) which are on high, where the Meshiha sitteth at the right hand of Aloha.
Εἰ οὖν συνηγέρθητε τῷ Χριστῷ, τὰ ἄνω ζητεῖτε, οὗ ὁ Χριστός ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ καθήμενος·
2 Think of that which is on high, and not of that on earth.
τὰ ἄνω φρονεῖτε μὴ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
3 For you are dead, and your life is hid with the Meshiha in Aloha;
ἀπεθάνετε γὰρ καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν κέκρυπται σὺν τῷ Χριστῷ ἐν τῷ θεῷ·
4 and when the Meshiha, who is our life, shall be manifested, then also will you be manifested with him in glory.
ὅταν ὁ Χριστὸς φανερωθῇ, ἡ ζωὴ (ὑμῶν, *N(K)O*) τότε καὶ ὑμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ φανερωθήσεσθε ἐν δόξῃ.
5 Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, and passions, and evil desires, and covetousness, which itself is idolatry.
Νεκρώσατε οὖν τὰ μέλη (ὑμῶν *K*) τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, πορνείαν, ἀκαθαρσίαν, πάθος, ἐπιθυμίαν κακὴν καὶ τὴν πλεονεξίαν ἥτις ἐστὶν εἰδωλολατρία,
6 For on account of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.
δι᾽ ἃ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας·
7 In these also you walked aforetime, when you were conversant in them.
ἐν οἷς καὶ ὑμεῖς περιεπατήσατέ ποτε, ὅτε ἐζῆτε ἐν (τούτοις. *N(k)O*)
8 But now cease you from all these; anger, wrath, malice, reviling, impure speech:
Νυνὶ δὲ ἀπόθεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς τὰ πάντα, ὀργήν, θυμόν, κακίαν, βλασφημίαν, αἰσχρολογίαν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν.
9 and lie not one to another, but put off the old man with all his manners,
Μὴ ψεύδεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους ἀπεκδυσάμενοι τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον σὺν ταῖς πράξεσιν αὐτοῦ
10 and wear the new, who is renovated by knowledge in the image of his Creator,
καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν νέον, τὸν ἀνακαινούμενον εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν κατ᾽ εἰκόνα τοῦ κτίσαντος αὐτόν·
11 where there is not Jihudoya and Aramoya, nor circumcision and uncircumcision, nor Javanoya and Barbaroya, nor slave and freeman, but the Meshiha is all and in all.
ὅπου οὐκ ἔνι Ἕλλην καὶ Ἰουδαῖος, περιτομὴ καὶ ἀκροβυστία, βάρβαρος, Σκύθης, δοῦλος, ἐλεύθερος, ἀλλὰ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν Χριστός.
12 Wear, therefore, as the chosen of Aloha, saints and beloved, compassions and tenderness, and benignity, and lowliness of mind, and composure, and patience.
Ἐνδύσασθε οὖν, ὡς ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ ἅγιοι καὶ ἠγαπημένοι, σπλάγχνα (οἰκτιρμοῦ, *N(k)O*) χρηστότητα, ταπεινοφροσύνην, πραΰτητα, μακροθυμίαν·
13 And bear with one another, and forgive one another, if any man have a complaint against his neighbour; even as the Meshiha hath forgiven you, so also forgive;
ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων καὶ χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς ἐάν τις πρός τινα ἔχῃ μομφήν· καθὼς καὶ ὁ (κύριος *N(K)O*) ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς·
14 and with all these charity, which is the girdle of perfection.
ἐπὶ πᾶσιν δὲ τούτοις τὴν ἀγάπην, (ὅ *N(k)O*) ἐστιν σύνδεσμος τῆς τελειότητος.
15 And let the peace of the Meshiha direct your hearts, for to it you have been called in one body; and give thanks to the Meshiha,
καὶ ἡ εἰρήνη τοῦ (Χριστοῦ *N(K)O*) βραβευέτω ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, εἰς ἣν καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι· καὶ εὐχάριστοι γίνεσθε.
16 whose word shall dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves in psalms and in hymns and in songs of the Spirit, and with grace sing with your hearts unto Aloha.
Ὁ λόγος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐνοικείτω ἐν ὑμῖν πλουσίως, ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ, διδάσκοντες καὶ νουθετοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ψαλμοῖς, (καὶ *k*) ὕμνοις, (καὶ *k*) ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς ἐν (τῇ *no*) χάριτι ᾄδοντες ἐν (ταῖς καρδίαις *N(k)O*) ὑμῶν τῷ (θεῷ· *N(K)O*)
17 And whatsoever you do, either in word or work, do (it) in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and with thanksgiving through him unto Aloha the Father.
καὶ πᾶν (ὅ τι *NK(o)*) (ἐὰν *N(k)O*) ποιῆτε ἐν λόγῳ ἢ ἐν ἔργῳ, πάντα ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου Ἰησοῦ εὐχαριστοῦντες τῷ θεῷ (καὶ *k*) πατρὶ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ.
18 WIVES, be subject to your husbands, as it is right in the Meshiha.
Αἱ γυναῖκες, ὑποτάσσεσθε τοῖς (ἰδίοις *K*) ἀνδράσιν ὡς ἀνῆκεν ἐν κυρίῳ.
19 Men, 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 every thing, for so it is pleasing before our Lord.
Τὰ τέκνα, ὑπακούετε τοῖς γονεῦσιν κατὰ πάντα· τοῦτο γὰρ εὐάρεστόν ἐστιν (ἐν *N(k)O*) κυρίῳ.
21 Fathers, exasperate not your children, that they be not discouraged.
Οἱ πατέρες, μὴ ἐρεθίζετε τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, ἵνα μὴ ἀθυμῶσιν.
22 Servants, obey in every thing your masters according to the flesh, not in the sight of the eye (only), as those who please men, but from a simple heart, and in the fear of the Lord.
Οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε κατὰ πάντα τοῖς κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις, μὴ ἐν (ὀφθαλμοδουλίᾳ *N(k)O*) ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας φοβούμενοι τὸν (κύριον. *N(K)O*)
23 And all that you do, from all your heart do (it), as to our Lord, and not as to men.
(καὶ *k*) (πᾶν *K*) ὃ (τι *K*) ἐὰν ποιῆτε, ἐκ ψυχῆς ἐργάζεσθε ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις·
24 And know that from our Lord you receive the reward in the inheritance; for the Lord the Meshiha you serve.
εἰδότες ὅτι ἀπὸ κυρίου (ἀπολήμψεσθε *NK(o)*) τὴν ἀνταπόδοσιν τῆς κληρονομίας· τῷ (γὰρ *k*) κυρίῳ Χριστῷ δουλεύετε.
25 But he who injureth is recompensed as he had injured, and there is no acceptance of persons.
ὁ (γὰρ *N(k)O*) ἀδικῶν κομίσεται ὃ ἠδίκησεν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν προσωπολημψία.
