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, depraved passion, evil desire, and
covetousness, which is idolatry; {3:6} for which things' sake the
wrath of God comes on the children 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 God 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 the Lord.
{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} But he who does
wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is
no partiality.
