Colossians 3

Colossians 3

1If you2f then be risen with Moshiach [Messiah] , seek those things which are above, where Moshiach [Messiah] sits on the right hand of God-The Father.

2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3For you2f are dead, and your life is hid with Moshiach [Messiah] in God-The Father.

4When Moshiach [Messiah] , [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall you2f also appear with him in glory.

5Mortify (put to death; remove the life of) therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate (unrestrained; immoderate) affection, evil concupiscence (strong lust; passion) , and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6For which things’ sake the wrath of God-The Father comes on the children of disobedience:

7In the which you2f also walked some time, when you2f lived in them.

8But now you2f also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

9Lie not one to another, seeing that you2f have put off the old man with his deeds;

10And have put on the new [man] , which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11Where there is neither Greek [unstable: the miry one] nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Moshiach [Messiah] [is] all, and in all.

12Put [a bow] on therefore, as the elect of God-The Father, holy and beloved, bowels (inward parts; affections) of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Moshiach [Messiah] forgave you, so also [do] you2f .

14And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15And let the peace of God-The Father rule in your hearts, to the which also you2f are called in one body; and be you2f thankful.

16Let the word of Moshiach [Messiah] dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord - Kurios.

17And whatsoever you2f do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] , giving thanks to God-The Father and the Father by him.

18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord - Kurios.

19Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.

20Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord - Kurios.

21Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger] , lest they be discouraged.

22Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God-The Father:

23And whatsoever you2f do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord - Kurios, and not unto men;

24Knowing that of the Lord - Kurios you2f shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you2f serve the Lord - Kurios Moshiach [Messiah] .

25But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
