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+KO) 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+kO)

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+kO) 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+KO) 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+kO) 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+KO) 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 grace singing in (the hearts *N+kO) of you (to God; *N+KO)

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+kO) 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+kO) 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+kO) as men-pleasers but in sincerity of heart fearing the (Lord. *N+KO)

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+kO) 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.
