Colossians 3

New American Standard Bible 2020

Put On the New Self

1ThereforeG3767, ifG1487 you have been 1raisedG4891 with ChristG5547, keep seekingG2212 the things that are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 is, 2seatedG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316. 234SetG5426 your mindsG5426 onG5426 the things that are 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, 9treatG3499 10the partsG3196 of your earthlyG1093 body asG3499 deadG3499 to 11sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, impurityG167, passionG3806, evilG2556 desireG1939, and greedG4124, whichG3748 12amountsG1510 to idolatryG1495. 6For it is becauseG1223 of theseG3739 thingsG3739 that 13the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is comingG2064 14upon the 15sonsG5207 of disobedienceG545, 7and 16in them you alsoG2532 onceG4218 walkedG4043, whenG3753 you were livingG2198 17in them. 8But nowG3570 you alsoG2532, 18ridG659 yourselves ofG659 allG3956 of them: 19angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, slanderG988, and 20obsceneG148 speechG148 from your mouthG4750. 92122Do not lieG5574 to oneG240 anotherG240, since you 23strippedG554 offG554 the oldG3820 24selfG444 with its evil practicesG4234, 10and have 25putG1746 onG1746 the newG3501 self, which is being 2627renewedG341 to a trueG1922 knowledgeG1922 28accordingG2596 to the imageG1504 of the One who 29createdG2936 it-- 11a renewal in whichG3699 30thereG1762 isG1762 noG3756 distinction between GreekG1672 and JewG2453, 31circumcisedG4061 and uncircumcisedG203, 3233barbarianG915, 34ScythianG4658, 35slaveG1401, and freeG1658, but 36ChristG5547 is allG3956, and in allG3956.

12SoG3767, as those who have been 37chosenG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 and belovedG25, 38putG1746 onG1746 a 39heartG4698 of compassionG3628, kindnessG5544, 40humilityG5012, gentlenessG4240, and 4142patienceG3115; 1343bearingG430 with oneG240 anotherG240, and 44forgivingG5483 eachG1438 otherG1438, whoeverG1437G5100 hasG2192 a complaintG3437 againstG4314 anyoneG5100; 45justG2531 asG2531 the LordG2962 forgaveG5483 you, soG3779 must you do alsoG2532. 14In additionG1909 to allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 put on loveG26, whichG3739 is 4647the perfectG5047 bondG4886 ofG4886 48unityG4886. 15Let 49the peaceG1515 of ChristG5547, to whichG3739 you were 50indeedG2532 calledG2564 in 51oneG1520 bodyG4983, 52ruleG1018 in your heartsG2588; and 53be thankfulG2170. 16Let 54the wordG3056 of 55ChristG5547 richlyG4146 dwellG1774 withinG1722 you, 56with allG3956 wisdomG4678 57teachingG1321 and admonishingG3560 58oneG1438 anotherG1438 59with psalmsG5568, hymnsG5215, and spiritualG4152 songsG5603, 60singingG103 with thankfulnessG5485 in your heartsG2588 to GodG2316. 1761WhateverG3956 you doG4160 in wordG3056 orG2228 deedG2041, do everythingG3956 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, 62givingG2168 thanksG2168 throughG1223 Him to GodG2316 the FatherG3962.

Family Relations

1863WivesG1135, 64beG5293 subjectG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fittingG433 in the LordG2962. 1965HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135 and do not becomeG4087 bitterG4087 againstG4314 them. 2066ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in everythingG3956, for thisG3778 is pleasingG2101 67to the LordG2962. 2168FathersG3962, do not 69antagonizeG2042 your childrenG5043, soG2443 thatG2443 they will not becomeG120 discouragedG120.

227071SlavesG1401, obeyG5219 thoseG3588 who are your 72humanG4561 mastersG2962 in everythingG3956, 73not with 74eye-serviceG3787, as people-pleasersG441, but with sincerityG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962. 23WhateverG3739G1437 you doG4160, doG2038 your workG2038 75heartilyG5590, 76as for the LordG2962 and not for peopleG444, 2477knowingG3609 that it is from the LordG2962 that you will receiveG618 the rewardG469 78of 79the inheritanceG2817. It is the LordG2962 ChristG5547 whom you 80serveG1398. 25For 81the one who doesG91 wrongG91 will receiveG2865 the consequences of the wrongG91 whichG3739 he has doneG91, and 8283that withoutG3756 partialityG4382.
