Colossians Chapter 3

            3:1If then you-were-raised-with [the] Christ, seek the-things above, where [the] Christ is-seated on (the) right (hand) of-[the] God. 2 Set-your-mind-on the-things above, not the-things on [the] earth. 3 For you-died and the life of-you has-been-hidden with Christ in [the] God. 4 When [the] Christ, the life of-you, appears, then you also will-be-manifested with him in glory.

            5 Therefore put-to-death the members [the] on the earth: sexual-immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and [the] greed, which is idolatry. 6 On-account-of which-things the wrath of-[the] God comes [on the sons of-[the] disobedience]ms, 7 in which-things you also once walked, when you were-living in these-things, 8 and/but now you also put┘all the-things└asideimparative: anger, rage, hateful feelings, slander, shameful talk from your mouth. 9 Do┘not└lie to one-another, having-taken-off the old man with the practices of-it, 10 and having-put-on the new (man), the-one being-made-new to knowledge according-to (the) image of-the-One having-created him, 11 where there-is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ (is) [the]ms all-things and in all (things).

            12 So put-on, as chosen-ones of-[the] God, holy and beloved, bowels of-compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, humility, longsuffering, 13 being-patient-with one-another and being-gracious to-each-other. If anybody has (a) complaint toward anybody, even-as the Lord was┘also└gracious to-you, so also you (be to one another). 14 And above all these-things, (put on) love, which is (the) bond of-[the] perfection, 15 and let┘the peace of-[the] Christ└be-in-control in the hearts of-you, unto which also you-were-called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let┘the word of-[the] Christ└live in youpl richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each-other with-psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with-[the]ms gratitude in the hearts of-you to-[the] God. 17 And anything whatever2 you-do in word or in deed, (do) all-things in (the) name of-(the) Lord Jesus, being-thankful to-[the] God (the) Father through him.

            18 [The] wives, defer to-the/your husbands as is-fitting in (the) Lord. 19 [The] husbands, love the/your wives, and do┘not└be-bitter towards them.

            20 [The] children, obey theyour parents according-to all-things, for this is pleasing in (the) Lord. 21 [The] fathers, do┘make└make┘the children of-you└resentful, in-order-that they-may┘not└be-discouraged.

            22 [The] slaves, obey the/your masters according-to (the) flesh according-to all-things, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of-heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever2 you-do, from (the) soul work as to-the Lord and not men, 24 knowing that from (the) Lord you-will-receive the reward of-the inheritance. Serve the Lord Christ; 25 for the-one doing-unjustly will-receive-back what he-unjustly-did, and respect-of-persons is not. 4:1[The] masters, give the/your slaves the just-thing and [the] fairness, knowing that you also have (a) Master in heaven.
