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

Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

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

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

Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

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

You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
8 kintvidAnIM krOdhO rOSO jihiMsiSA durmukhatA vadananirgatakadAlapazcaitAni sarvvANi dUrIkurudhvaM|
but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9 yUyaM parasparaM mRSAkathAM na vadata yatO yUyaM svakarmmasahitaM purAtanapuruSaM tyaktavantaH
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,
10 svasraSTuH pratimUrtyA tattvajnjAnAya nUtanIkRtaM navInapuruSaM parihitavantazca|
and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Meshikha is all, and in all.
12 ataEva yUyam Izvarasya manObhilaSitAH pavitrAH priyAzca lOkA iva snEhayuktAm anukampAM hitaiSitAM namratAM titikSAM sahiSNutAnjca paridhaddhvaM|
Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;

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 vizESataH siddhijanakEna prEmabandhanEna baddhA bhavata|
Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 yasyAH prAptayE yUyam Ekasmin zarIrE samAhUtA abhavata sEzvarIyA zAnti ryuSmAkaM manAMsyadhitiSThatu yUyanjca kRtajnjA bhavata|
And let the peace of Meshikha rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Let the word of Meshikha 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 vAcA karmmaNA vA yad yat kuruta tat sarvvaM prabhO ryIzO rnAmnA kuruta tEna pitaram IzvaraM dhanyaM vadata ca|
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.

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

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 yacca kurudhvE tat mAnuSamanuddizya prabhum uddizya praphullamanasA kurudhvaM,
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,
24 yatO vayaM prabhutaH svargAdhikArarUpaM phalaM lapsyAmaha iti yUyaM jAnItha yasmAd yUyaM prabhOH khrISTasya dAsA bhavatha|
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Meshikha.
25 kintu yaH kazcid anucitaM karmma karOti sa tasyAnucitakarmmaNaH phalaM lapsyatE tatra kO'pi pakSapAtO na bhaviSyati|
But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
