Colossians 3

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

IF, then, you have risen with the Meshiha, seek (the realities) which are on high, where the Meshiha sitteth at the right hand of Aloha.

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

Think of that which is on high, and not of that on earth.

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

For you are dead, and your life is hid with the Meshiha in Aloha;

4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

and when the Meshiha, who is our life, shall be manifested, then also will you be manifested with him in glory.

5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, and passions, and evil desires, and covetousness, which itself is idolatry.

6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

For on account of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.

7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,

In these also you walked aforetime, when you were conversant in them.

8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

But now cease you from all these; anger, wrath, malice, reviling, impure speech:

9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

and lie not one to another, but put off the old man with all his manners,

10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

and wear the new, who is renovated by knowledge in the image of his Creator,

11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.

where there is not Jihudoya and Aramoya, nor circumcision and uncircumcision, nor Javanoya and Barbaroya, nor slave and freeman, but the Meshiha is all and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

Wear, therefore, as the chosen of Aloha, saints and beloved, compassions and tenderness, and benignity, and lowliness of mind, and composure, and patience.

13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

And bear with one another, and forgive one another, if any man have a complaint against his neighbour; even as the Meshiha hath forgiven you, so also forgive;

14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

and with all these charity, which is the girdle of perfection.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

And let the peace of the Meshiha direct your hearts, for to it you have been called in one body; and give thanks to the Meshiha,

16 Let the word of Christ 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 the Lord.

whose word shall dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves in psalms and in hymns and in songs of the Spirit, and with grace sing with your hearts unto Aloha.

17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

And whatsoever you do, either in word or work, do (it) in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and with thanksgiving through him unto Aloha the Father.

18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

WIVES, be subject to your husbands, as it is right in the Meshiha.

19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.

Men, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in every thing, for so it is pleasing before our Lord.

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they will not be discouraged.

Fathers, exasperate not your children, that they be not discouraged.

22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

Servants, obey in every thing your masters according to the flesh, not in the sight of the eye (only), as those who please men, but from a simple heart, and in the fear of the Lord.

23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

And all that you do, from all your heart do (it), as to our Lord, and not as to men.

24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

And know that from our Lord you receive the reward in the inheritance; for the Lord the Meshiha you serve.

25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

But he who injureth is recompensed as he had injured, and there is no acceptance of persons.
