Colossians 3

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth 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 affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

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

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

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

4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear 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 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, 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 which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

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

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

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

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

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

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

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

10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

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

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: 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 the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

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

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.

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 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

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

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye 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 in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts 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 And what soever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by 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, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

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

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

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

20 Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

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

21 Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.

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

22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; 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 what soever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

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

24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye 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 that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

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