< Colossians 3 >
1 If then you have been raised with Christ, the [things] above do seek, where Christ is at [the] right hand of God sitting;
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2 The [things] above do set [your] minds on not the [things] on the earth.
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
3 You have died for and the life of you has been hidden with Christ in God;
For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ may be revealed, the life (of you, *N(K)O*) then also you yourselves with Him will appear in glory.
When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.
5 do put to death therefore the members (of you *K*) which [are] upon the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, desire evil and covetousness which is idolatry,
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, the which is idolatry;
6 because of which things is coming the wrath of God on the sons of disobedience;
for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience;
7 in which also you yourselves walked once when you were living in (them. *N(k)O*)
in the which ye also walked aforetime, when ye lived in these things.
8 Now however do put off also you yourselves all [these] things: anger, rage, malice, slander, foul language out of the mouth of you.
But now put ye also away all these; anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
9 Not do lie to one another having put off the old man with the practices of him
lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,
10 and having put on the new, which is being renewed in knowledge according to [the] image of the [one who] having created him;
and have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 where not there is Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, slave, free, but all and in all Christ [is].
where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 do put on therefore, as [the] elect of God holy and beloved, hearts (of compassion, *N(k)O*) kindness, humility, gentleness, [and] patience;
Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
13 bearing with each other and forgiving each other If anyone against another shall have a complaint; even as also the (Lord *N(K)O*) has forgiven you, so also you;
forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:
14 Beyond all now these [put on] the love, (which *N(k)O*) is [the] bond of perfect unity.
and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And the peace (from Christ *N(K)O*) should rule in the hearts of you, to which also you were called in one body; And thankful do be.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 The word of Christ should dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms, (and *k*) in hymns, (and *k*) in songs spiritual with (*no*) grace singing in (the hearts *N(k)O*) of you (to God; *N(K)O*)
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another with psalms [and] hymns [and] spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.
17 And everything (which what *NK(o)*) (maybe *N(k)O*) you shall do in word or in deed, all in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus giving thanks to God (and *k*) [the] Father through Him.
And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18 you who [are] wives, do be submitted (to [your] own *K*) husbands as was fitting in [the] Lord.
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 you who [are] Husbands, do love the wives and not do be harsh toward them.
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 you who [are] Children, do obey the parents in all things; this for pleasing is (in *N(k)O*) Lord.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
21 you who [are] Fathers, not do provoke the children of you, that not they may become discouraged.
Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.
22 you who [are] Slaves, do obey in all things the according to flesh masters, not with (eye-service *N(k)O*) as men-pleasers but in sincerity of heart fearing the (Lord. *N(K)O*)
Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:
23 (and *k*) (everything *K*) that (any [of] *K*) maybe you shall do, from [the] soul do work as to the Lord and not to men;
whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;
24 knowing that from [the] Lord (you will receive *NK(o)*) the reward of the inheritance; The (for *k*) Lord Christ you serve.
knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 The [one] (for *N(k)O*) doing wrong he will be repaid [for] what he has done wrong and not there is partiality.
For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
