Sha'ul�s Letter to the Colossians, Chapter 3
{3:1} If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things
that are above, where Messiah is, seated on the right hand of God.
{3:2} Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things
that are on the [1>]eretz[<1]. {3:3} For you died, and your life is
hidden with Messiah in God. {3:4} When Messiah, our life, is revealed,
then you will also be revealed with him in glory. {3:5} Put to death
therefore your members which are on the [2>]eretz[<2]: sexual
immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which
is idolatry; {3:6} for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on
the sons of disobedience. {3:7} You also once walked in those, when
you lived in them; {3:8} but now you also put them all away: anger,
wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. {3:9}
Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man
with his doings, {3:10} and have put on the new man, that is being
renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, {3:11} where
there can't be Yevanit and Yehudi, circumcision and uncircumcision,
barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Messiah is all, and in
all. {3:12} Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a
heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
{3:13} bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man
has a complaint against any; even as Messiah forgave you, so you also
do. {3:14} Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of
perfection. {3:15} And let the shalom of Messiah rule in your hearts,
to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. {3:16} Let
the word of Messiah dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and
admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your heart to God. {3:17} Whatever you do, in
word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks
to God, the Father, through him.
{3:18} Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in
the Lord. {3:19} Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter
against them. {3:20} Children, obey your parents in all things, for
this pleases the Lord. {3:21} Fathers, don't provoke your children, so
that they won't be discouraged. {3:22} Servants, obey in all things
those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they
are looking, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
{3:23} And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not
for men, {3:24} knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward
of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord, Messiah. {3:25} For he who
does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and
there is no partiality.
