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 together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated on the right hand of God.
2 τα ανω φρονειτε μη τα επι της γης
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3 απεθανετε γαρ και η ζωη υμων κεκρυπται συν τω χριστω εν τω θεω
For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in God.
4 οταν ο χριστος φανερωθη η ζωη ημων τοτε και υμεις συν αυτω φανερωθησεσθε εν δοξη
When Messiah, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5 νεκρωσατε ουν τα μελη υμων τα επι της γης πορνειαν ακαθαρσιαν παθος επιθυμιαν κακην και την πλεονεξιαν ητις εστιν ειδωλολατρια
Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
6 δι α ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας
Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience.
7 εν οις και υμεις περιεπατησατε ποτε οτε εζητε εν αυτοις
You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
8 νυνι δε αποθεσθε και υμεις τα παντα οργην θυμον κακιαν βλασφημιαν αισχρολογιαν εκ του στοματος υμων
but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9 μη ψευδεσθε εις αλληλους απεκδυσαμενοι τον παλαιον ανθρωπον συν ταις πραξεσιν αυτου
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,
10 και ενδυσαμενοι τον νεον τον ανακαινουμενον εις επιγνωσιν κατ εικονα του κτισαντος αυτον
and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11 οπου ουκ ενι ελλην και ιουδαιος περιτομη και ακροβυστια βαρβαρος σκυθης δουλος ελευθερος αλλα τα παντα και εν πασιν χριστος
where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Messiah 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 God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;
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 has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also do.
14 επι πασιν δε τουτοις την αγαπην ητις εστιν συνδεσμος της τελειοτητος
Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of 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 Messiah rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be 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 the 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 God.
17 και παν ο τι αν ποιητε εν λογω η εν εργω παντα εν ονοματι κυριου ιησου ευχαριστουντες τω θεω και πατρι δι αυτου
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.
18 αι γυναικες υποτασσεσθε τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ως ανηκεν εν κυριω
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας και μη πικραινεσθε προς αυτας
Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
20 τα τεκνα υπακουετε τοις γονευσιν κατα παντα τουτο γαρ εστιν ευαρεστον εν κυριω
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
21 οι πατερες μη ερεθιζετε τα τεκνα υμων ινα μη αθυμωσιν
Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
22 οι δουλοι υπακουετε κατα παντα τοις κατα σαρκα κυριοις μη εν οφθαλμοδουλιαις ως ανθρωπαρεσκοι αλλ εν απλοτητι καρδιας φοβουμενοι τον θεον
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.
23 και παν ο τι εαν ποιητε εκ ψυχης εργαζεσθε ως τω κυριω και ουκ ανθρωποις
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,
24 ειδοτες οτι απο κυριου ληψεσθε την ανταποδοσιν της κληρονομιας τω γαρ κυριω χριστω δουλευετε
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Messiah.
25 ο δε αδικων κομιειται ο ηδικησεν και ουκ εστιν προσωποληψια
But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
