Προς Κολοσσαεις 3

1 ει ουν συνηγερθητε τω χριστω τα ανω ζητειτε ου ο χριστος εστιν εν δεξια του θεου καθημενος

If, then, you were raised with the Christ, seek the things above, where the Christ is, seated on the right hand of God;

2 τα ανω φρονειτε μη τα επι της γης

mind the things above, not the things on the earth,

3 απεθανετε γαρ και η ζωη υμων κεκρυπται συν τω χριστω εν τω θεω

for you died, and your life has been hid with the Christ in God;

4 οταν ο χριστος φανερωθη η ζωη ημων τοτε και υμεις συν αυτω φανερωθησεσθε εν δοξη

when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear with Him in glory.

5 νεκρωσατε ουν τα μελη υμων τα επι της γης πορνειαν ακαθαρσιαν παθος επιθυμιαν κακην και την πλεονεξιαν ητις εστιν ειδωλολατρεια

Put to death, then, your members that [are] on the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry—

6 δι α ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας

because of which things comes the anger of God on the sons of the disobedience,

7 εν οις και υμεις περιεπατησατε ποτε οτε εζητε εν αυτοις

in which you also—you once walked, when you lived in them;

8 νυνι δε αποθεσθε και υμεις τα παντα οργην θυμον κακιαν βλασφημιαν αισχρολογιαν εκ του στοματος υμων

but now put off, even you, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, slander, filthy talking—out of your mouth.

9 μη ψευδεσθε εις αλληλους απεκδυσαμενοι τον παλαιον ανθρωπον συν ταις πραξεσιν αυτου

Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,

10 και ενδυσαμενοι τον νεον τον ανακαινουμενον εις επιγνωσιν κατ εικονα του κτισαντος αυτον

and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who created him,

11 οπου ουκ ενι ελλην και ιουδαιος περιτομη και ακροβυστια βαρβαρος σκυθης δουλος ελευθερος αλλα τα παντα και εν πασιν χριστος

where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ [is] all and in all.

12 ενδυσασθε ουν ως εκλεκτοι του θεου αγιοι και ηγαπημενοι σπλαγχνα οικτιρμου χρηστοτητα ταπεινοφροσυνην πραοτητα μακροθυμιαν

Put on, therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, yearnings of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

13 ανεχομενοι αλληλων και χαριζομενοι εαυτοις εαν τις προς τινα εχη μομφην καθως και ο χριστος εχαρισατο υμιν ουτως και υμεις

bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone may have a quarrel with anyone, as the Christ also forgave you—so also you;

14 επι πασιν δε τουτοις την αγαπην ητις εστιν συνδεσμος της τελειοτητος

and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,

15 και η ειρηνη του θεου βραβευετω εν ταις καρδιαις υμων εις ην και εκληθητε εν ενι σωματι και ευχαριστοι γινεσθε

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

16 ο λογος του χριστου ενοικειτω εν υμιν πλουσιως εν παση σοφια διδασκοντες και νουθετουντες εαυτους ψαλμοις και υμνοις και ωδαις πνευματικαις εν χαριτι αδοντες εν τη καρδια υμων τω κυριω

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the LORD;

17 και παν ο τι αν ποιητε εν λογω η εν εργω παντα εν ονοματι κυριου ιησου ευχαριστουντες τω θεω και πατρι δι αυτου

and all, whatever you may do in word or in work, [do] all things in the Name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through Him.

18 αι γυναικες υποτασσεσθε τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ως ανηκεν εν κυριω

The wives: be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the LORD;

19 οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας και μη πικραινεσθε προς αυτας

the husbands: love your wives, and do not be bitter with them;

20 τα τεκνα υπακουετε τοις γονευσιν κατα παντα τουτο γαρ εστιν ευαρεστον εν κυριω

the children: obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the LORD;

21 οι πατερες μη ερεθιζετε τα τεκνα υμων ινα μη αθυμωσιν

the fathers: do not distress your children, lest they be discouraged;

22 οι δουλοι υπακουετε κατα παντα τοις κατα σαρκα κυριοις μη εν οφθαλμοδουλειαις ως ανθρωπαρεσκοι αλλ εν απλοτητι καρδιας φοβουμενοι τον θεον

the servants: obey those who are masters in all things according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;

23 και παν ο τι εαν ποιητε εκ ψυχης εργαζεσθε ως τω κυριω και ουκ ανθρωποις

and all, whatever you may do—out of soul work—as to the LORD, and not to men,

24 ειδοτες οτι απο κυριου ληψεσθε την ανταποδοσιν της κληρονομιας τω γαρ κυριω χριστω δουλευετε

having known that you will receive the repayment of the inheritance from the LORD—for you serve the LORD Christ;

25 ο δε αδικων κομιειται ο ηδικησεν και ουκ εστιν προσωποληψια

and he who is doing unrighteously will receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no favor by appearance.
