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.
yadi yUyaM khrISTena sArddham utthApitA abhavata tarhi yasmin sthAne khrISTa Izvarasya dakSiNapArzve upaviSTa Aste tasyorddhvasthAnasya viSayAn ceSTadhvaM|
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
pArthivaviSayeSu na yatamAnA UrddhvasthaviSayeSu yatadhvaM|
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
yato yUyaM mRtavanto yuSmAkaM jIvitaJca khrISTena sArddham Izvare guptam asti|
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
asmAkaM jIvanasvarUpaH khrISTo yadA prakAziSyate tadA tena sArddhaM yUyamapi vibhavena prakAziSyadhve|
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
ato vezyAgamanam azucikriyA rAgaH kutsitAbhilASo devapUjAtulyo lobhazcaitAni rpAthavapuruSasyAGgAni yuSmAbhi rnihanyantAM|
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
yata etebhyaH karmmabhya AjJAlaGghino lokAn pratIzvarasya krodho varttate|
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
pUrvvaM yadA yUyaM tAnyupAjIvata tadA yUyamapi tAnyevAcarata;
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
yUyaM parasparaM mRSAkathAM na vadata yato yUyaM svakarmmasahitaM purAtanapuruSaM tyaktavantaH
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
svasraSTuH pratimUrtyA tattvajJAnAya nUtanIkRtaM navInapuruSaM parihitavantazca|
11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
tena ca yihUdibhinnajAtIyayozchinnatvagacchinnatvaco rmlecchaskuthIyayo rdAsamuktayozca ko'pi vizeSo nAsti kintu sarvveSu sarvvaH khrISTa evAste|
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
ataeva yUyam Izvarasya manobhilaSitAH pavitrAH priyAzca lokA iva snehayuktAm anukampAM hitaiSitAM namratAM titikSAM sahiSNutAJca paridhaddhvaM|
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.
yUyam ekaikasyAcaraNaM sahadhvaM yena ca yasya kimapyaparAdhyate tasya taM doSaM sa kSamatAM, khrISTo yuSmAkaM doSAn yadvad kSamitavAn yUyamapi tadvat kurudhvaM|
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
vizeSataH siddhijanakena premabandhanena baddhA bhavata|
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
yasyAH prAptaye yUyam ekasmin zarIre samAhUtA abhavata sezvarIyA zAnti ryuSmAkaM manAMsyadhitiSThatu yUyaJca kRtajJA bhavata|
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.
khrISTasya vAkyaM sarvvavidhajJAnAya sampUrNarUpeNa yuSmadantare nivamatu, yUyaJca gItai rgAnaiH pAramArthikasaGkIrttanaizca parasparam Adizata prabodhayata ca, anugRhItatvAt prabhum uddizya svamanobhi rgAyata ca|
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.
vAcA karmmaNA vA yad yat kuruta tat sarvvaM prabho ryIzo rnAmnA kuruta tena pitaram IzvaraM dhanyaM vadata ca|
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
he yoSitaH, yUyaM svAminAM vazyA bhavata yatastadeva prabhave rocate|
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
he svAminaH, yUyaM bhAryyAsu prIyadhvaM tAH prati paruSAlApaM mA kurudhvaM|
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
he bAlAH, yUyaM sarvvaviSaye pitrorAjJAgrAhiNo bhavata yatastadeva prabhoH santoSajanakaM|
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
he pitaraH, yuSmAkaM santAnA yat kAtarA na bhaveyustadarthaM tAn prati mA roSayata|
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.
he dAsAH, yUyaM sarvvaviSaya aihikaprabhUnAm AjJAgrAhiNo bhavata dRSTigocarIyasevayA mAnavebhyo rocituM mA yatadhvaM kintu saralAntaHkaraNaiH prabho rbhAtyA kAryyaM kurudhvaM|
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
yacca kurudhve tat mAnuSamanuddizya prabhum uddizya praphullamanasA kurudhvaM,
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
yato vayaM prabhutaH svargAdhikArarUpaM phalaM lapsyAmaha iti yUyaM jAnItha yasmAd yUyaM prabhoH khrISTasya dAsA bhavatha|
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
