Colossians 3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Put On the New Self

1ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 you have been 1raisedG4891 up with ChristG5547, keep seekingG2212 the things aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 is, 2seatedG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316. 234SetG5426 your mindG5426 on the things aboveG507, not on the things that are on earthG1093. 3For you have 5diedG599 and your lifeG2222 is hiddenG2928 with ChristG5547 in GodG2316. 4WhenG3752 ChristG5547, 6who is our lifeG2222, is revealedG5319, 7thenG5119 you alsoG2532 will be revealedG5319 with Him in gloryG1391.

58ThereforeG3767 9considerG3499 10the membersG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body as deadG3499 to 1112immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 13amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 14the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 will comeG2064 15upon the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 16in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 17in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 18putG659 them allG3956 asideG659: 19angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 20abusiveG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 92122Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 23laidG554 asideG554 the oldG3820 24selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 25putG1746 on the newG3501 selfG3501 who is being 2627renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 28accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 29createdG2936 him-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 30thereG1762 is noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 31circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 3233barbarianG915, ScythianG4658, 34slaveG1401 and freemanG1658, but 35ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 36chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 37putG1746 on a 38heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 39humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240 and 4041patienceG3115; 1342bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 43forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 44justG2531 as the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 alsoG2532 should you. 14BeyondG1909 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 put on loveG26, whichG3739 is 4546the perfectG5047 bondG4886 of 47unityG4886. 15Let 48the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547 49ruleG1018 in your heartsG2588, to whichG3739 50indeedG2532 you were calledG2564 in 51oneG1520 bodyG4983; and 52be thankfulG2170. 16Let 53the wordG3056 of 54ChristG5547 richlyG4146 dwellG1774 withinG1722 you, 55with allG3956 wisdomG4678 56teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 57oneG1438 anotherG1438 58with psalmsG5568 and hymnsG5215 and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, 59singingG103 60with thankfulnessG5485 in your heartsG2588 to GodG2316. 1761WhateverG3956 you doG4160 in wordG3056 orG2228 deedG2041, do allG3956 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, 62givingG2168 thanksG2168 throughG1223 Him to GodG2316 the FatherG3962.

Family Relations

1863WivesG1135, 64be subjectG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fittingG433 in the LordG2962. 1965HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135 and do not be embitteredG4087 againstG4314 them. 2066ChildrenG5043, be obedientG5219 to your parentsG1118 in allG3956 thingsG3956, for thisG3778 is well-pleasingG2101 67to the LordG2962. 2168FathersG3962, do not exasperateG2042 your childrenG5043, soG2443 that they will not loseG120 heartG120.

2269SlavesG1401, in allG3956 thingsG3956 obeyG5219 thoseG3588 who are your mastersG2962 70on earthG4561, 71not with 72externalG3787 serviceG3787, as those whoG441 merely pleaseG441 menG441, but with sincerityG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962. 23WhateverG3739G1437 you doG4160, doG2038 your workG2038 73heartilyG5590, 74as for the LordG2962 75ratherG3756 thanG2532G3756 for menG444, 2476knowingG3609 that from the LordG2962 you will receiveG618 the rewardG469 77of 78the inheritanceG2817. It is the LordG2962 ChristG5547 whom you 79serveG1398. 25For 80he who doesG91 wrongG91 will receiveG2865 the consequences of the wrongG91 whichG3739 he has doneG91, and 8182that withoutG3756 partialityG4382.
