< Colossians 3 >
1 So if you've been brought back to life with Christ, look for what comes from above, where Christ is, sitting at God's right hand.

2 Fix your mind on what's above, not what's here on earth.
ᎢᏣᎦᏌᏯᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᎡᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏞᏍᏗᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎡᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.
3 You died, and your life is kept safe with Christ in God.
ᏗᏥᏲᎱᏒᎯᏰᏃ, ᏕᏨᏅᏃ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏪᎲ ᏚᏩᏍᎦᎸ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ.
4 When Christ—your life—is revealed, then you will also share in his visible glory.

5 So kill your worldly nature—sexual sin, immorality, lust, evil desires, greedily wanting to have more—this is the worship of idols.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏕᏥᎯᎮᏍᏗ ᏗᏥᏰᎸ ᏕᏣᏚᏓᏕᏫᏒ ᎠᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏕᎵᏛ ᏗᏂᏏᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎦᏓᎭ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎬᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏲ ᎠᏚᎸᏅᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎠᎬᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᏥᎩ;
6 Because of such things, those who disobey experience God's judgment.

7 At one time you lived like that when you behaved in such a way,
ᎾᎿᎭᎾᏍᏉ ᏂᎯ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᏤᏙᎲᎩ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏣᏛᏁᎲ ᏥᏤᎲᎩ.
8 but now you should get rid of such things as anger, rage, wickedness, abuse, and using obscenities.

9 Don't lie to each other, since you've discarded your old self and what you used to do,
ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏗᏣᏓᏥᎪᏁᎮᏍᏗ, ᎢᏴᏛᏰᏃ ᎢᏰᏨᏁᎸᎯ ᎤᏪᏘ ᏴᏫ ᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎬᏩᎵᏠᏯᏍᏗ;
10 and put on your new self that is always being made more like your Creator, understanding better who he really is.

11 In this new situation there's no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, foreigner, barbarian, slave or free, for Christ is everything, and he lives in all of us.

12 Since you are God's special people, holy and dearly loved, adopt a sympathetic nature that is kind, humble, gentle, and patient.

13 Be patient with one another, forgive others among you if you have grievances against one another. Just as the Lord forgave you, you should do the same.

15 May the peace of Christ direct your thinking, because you were called to this by God who makes you one, and thank God for it!

16 Let Christ's message fully live in you. In every wise way teach and instruct one another through psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing praises to God in gratitude and sincerity.

17 Whatever you do, whether in word or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, praising God the Father through him.

22 Those of you who are servants, do everything your human masters tell you, not with just an eye to please them, but honestly and sincerely, respecting the Lord.
