Προς Κολοσσαεις 3

1 ει ουν συνηγερθητε τω χριστω τα ανω ζητειτε ου ο χριστος εστιν εν δεξια του θεου καθημενος

If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:

2 τα ανω φρονειτε μη τα επι της γης

have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;

3 απεθανετε γαρ και η ζωη υμων κεκρυπται συν τω χριστω εν τω θεω

for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.

4 οταν ο χριστος φανερωθη η ζωη ημων τοτε και υμεις συν αυτω φανερωθησεσθε εν δοξη

When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.

5 νεκρωσατε ουν τα μελη υμων τα επι της γης πορνειαν ακαθαρσιαν παθος επιθυμιαν κακην και την πλεονεξιαν ητις εστιν ειδωλολατρεια

Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.

6 δι α ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας

On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

7 εν οις και υμεις περιεπατησατε ποτε οτε εζητε εν αυτοις

In which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.

8 νυνι δε αποθεσθε και υμεις τα παντα οργην θυμον κακιαν βλασφημιαν αισχρολογιαν εκ του στοματος υμων

But now, put off, ye also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.

9 μη ψευδεσθε εις αλληλους απεκδυσαμενοι τον παλαιον ανθρωπον συν ταις πραξεσιν αυτου

Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,

10 και ενδυσαμενοι τον νεον τον ανακαινουμενον εις επιγνωσιν κατ εικονα του κτισαντος αυτον

and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;

11 οπου ουκ ενι ελλην και ιουδαιος περιτομη και ακροβυστια βαρβαρος σκυθης δουλος ελευθερος αλλα τα παντα και εν πασιν χριστος

wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.

12 ενδυσασθε ουν ως εκλεκτοι του θεου αγιοι και ηγαπημενοι σπλαγχνα οικτιρμου χρηστοτητα ταπεινοφροσυνην πραοτητα μακροθυμιαν

Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

13 ανεχομενοι αλληλων και χαριζομενοι εαυτοις εαν τις προς τινα εχη μομφην καθως και ο χριστος εχαρισατο υμιν ουτως και υμεις

forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.

14 επι πασιν δε τουτοις την αγαπην ητις εστιν συνδεσμος της τελειοτητος

And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.

15 και η ειρηνη του θεου βραβευετω εν ταις καρδιαις υμων εις ην και εκληθητε εν ενι σωματι και ευχαριστοι γινεσθε

And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.

16 ο λογος του χριστου ενοικειτω εν υμιν πλουσιως εν παση σοφια διδασκοντες και νουθετουντες εαυτους ψαλμοις και υμνοις και ωδαις πνευματικαις εν χαριτι αδοντες εν τη καρδια υμων τω κυριω

Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.

17 και παν ο τι αν ποιητε εν λογω η εν εργω παντα εν ονοματι κυριου ιησου ευχαριστουντες τω θεω και πατρι δι αυτου

And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.

18 αι γυναικες υποτασσεσθε τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ως ανηκεν εν κυριω

Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.

19 οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας και μη πικραινεσθε προς αυτας

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

20 τα τεκνα υπακουετε τοις γονευσιν κατα παντα τουτο γαρ εστιν ευαρεστον εν κυριω

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

21 οι πατερες μη ερεθιζετε τα τεκνα υμων ινα μη αθυμωσιν

Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.

22 οι δουλοι υπακουετε κατα παντα τοις κατα σαρκα κυριοις μη εν οφθαλμοδουλειαις ως ανθρωπαρεσκοι αλλ εν απλοτητι καρδιας φοβουμενοι τον θεον

Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.

23 και παν ο τι εαν ποιητε εκ ψυχης εργαζεσθε ως τω κυριω και ουκ ανθρωποις

Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;

24 ειδοτες οτι απο κυριου ληψεσθε την ανταποδοσιν της κληρονομιας τω γαρ κυριω χριστω δουλευετε

knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.

25 ο δε αδικων κομιειται ο ηδικησεν και ουκ εστιν προσωποληψια

For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
