VaKorose 3
1 Sezvo, zvino, makamutswa pamwe chete naKristu, isai mwoyo yenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, uko kugere Kristu kuruoko rworudyi rwaMwari.
Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2 Isai pfungwa dzenyu pazvinhu zviri kumusoro, kwete pazvinhu zvenyika.
Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.
3 Nokuti makafa, uye upenyu hwenyu hwakavigwa zvino naKristu muna Mwari.
For you have died, and so your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 Panoonekwa Kristu, iye upenyu hwenyu, ipapo nemiwo muchaonekwa pamwe chete naye mukubwinya.
When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Naizvozvo, urayai zvose zvenyu zvenyika zvinoti: upombwe, netsvina, nokusachena, nokuchiva, nokuda zvakaipa uye kukara, ndiko kunamata zvifananidzo.
Therefore, mortify your body, while it is upon the earth. For because of fornication, impurity, lust, evil desires, and avarice, which are a kind of service to idols,

7 Imi maimbofamba mazviri, muupenyu hwamaimborarama.
You, too, walked in these things, in times past, when you were living among them.
8 Asi zvino munofanira kuzvidzora pane zvose zvakadai sezvizvi zvinoti: kutsamwa, hasha, ruvengo, makuhwa, nokutaura zvakaora zvichibva pamiromo yenyu.
But now you must set aside all these things: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, and indecent speech from your mouth.
9 Musareverana nhema, sezvo makabvisa munhu wenyu wekare namabasa ake
Do not lie to one another. Strip yourselves of the old man, with his deeds,

And let the peace of Christ lift up your hearts. For in this peace, you have been called, as one body. And be thankful.

Let the word of Christ live in you in abundance, with all wisdom, teaching and correcting one another, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing to God with the grace in your hearts.
17 Uye zvose zvamunoita, mushoko kana mumabasa, itai zvose muzita raIshe Jesu, muchivonga Mwari ivo Baba kubudikidza naye.

Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter toward them.
20 Vana, teererai vabereki venyu pazvinhu zvose, nokuti izvi zvinofadza Ishe.
Children, obey your parents in all things. For this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
21 Madzibaba, musanetsa vana venyu, nokuti vanozoora mwoyo.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to indignation, lest they lose heart.
22 Varanda, teererai vatenzi venyu vapanyika muzvinhu zvose; uye muzviite, kwete kuti vakuonei chete uye kuti mudikanwe navo, asi nokutendeka kwomwoyo uye nokutya Ishe.
Servants, obey, in all things, your lords according to the flesh, not serving only when seen, as if to please men, but serving in simplicity of heart, fearing God.
23 Zvose zvamunoita, itai zvose nomwoyo wose, savanhu vanoshandira Ishe, kwete munhu,
Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as for the Lord, and not for men.

For you know that you will receive from the Lord the repayment of an inheritance. Serve Christ the Lord.
25 Ani naani anoita zvakaipa achatsiviwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake, uye hapana kutsaura vanhu.
For whoever causes injury shall be repaid for what he has wrongfully done. And there no favoritism with God.
