Colossians 3

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

If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated 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 mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

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

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

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

When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.

5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:

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

wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;

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

but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:

9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,

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

and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Messiah is all, and in all.

where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, 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, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

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

forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord 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] love, which is the bond of perfectness.

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

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

16 Let the word of Messiah 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 the Lord.

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

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 in deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

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

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

19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t 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, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.

Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.

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

Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:

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

whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto 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 Messiah.

knowing that from 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 doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
