Colossians 3
3
1If therefore you were made to stand up alive in hitkhadshut with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, seek the things above, where Moshiach is, LI'MINI (at my right hand),#3:1 Ps 110:1 sitting at the right hand of Hashem.
2Place your machshavot (thoughts) above (in Shomayim), not on the things of the Olam Hazeh.
3For you died and the Chayyim of you has become nistar#3:3 Co 2:3 (hidden) with Moshiach in Hashem.
4When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach who is Chayyeinu (our Life) is made manifest in hisgalus (revelation), then also you with Him will be made manifest in hisgalus in kavod.
5Therefore, put to death your evarim (members) in the Olam Hazeh: zenut (fornication), debauchery, sensuality, zimmah (licentiousness), and chamdanut (covetousness), which is avodah zarah (idolatry).
6Because of such things as these the charon af Hashem habah (the coming burning wrath of Hashem) is on the way.
7Such was your derech to fier zich (comport oneself), the derech resha'im formerly,#3:7 Ps 1:6 when you were living in these things.
8But now you also put away all these things: ka'as (anger), rage, kavvanah ra'ah (malice), and chillul Hashem. Put away loshon hora from your mouth.
9Do not speak sheker to one another, having disrobed from the Adam hakadmoni (old#3:9 unregenerated humanity) with his ma'asim (works),
10And instead enrobe with the Adam HaChadash, the one being renewed in da'as in accordance with the demut#3:10 1:15; Gn 1:26-27; Pp 2:6 of the One having created him.
11Here there is neither Yevani nor Yehudi, there is neither those who are or are not of the Bris Milah, there is no uncultured non-Greek speaker, there is no Scythian, eved, or Ben Chorin, but rather Moshiach is all in all.
12Therefore, as Bechirim (Chosen ones) of Hashem, Kedoshim and ahuvim, enrobe yourselves in tender feelings of rachmei Shomayim (heavenly compassion, mercy), chesed (lovingkindness), anavah (humility), shiflut (lowliness), and savlanut (longsuffering),
13Being soivel (bearing with) one another and extending selicha (forgiveness) to each other, if it should be that one is murmuring his complaint against another; just as Adoneinu extended selicha to you, so also you should extend selicha.
14And to all these things add ahavah, which is the agudah of tamimim.
15And let the shalom of Moshiach arbitrate in your levavot. You were called to this shalom in one GUF.#3:15 Dt 21:23; cf geviyah, Gn 47:18; cf basar, Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 53:11 Let there be todah in your levavot.
16Let the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach make its mishkan in you richly, in all chochmah and in all Moshiachʼs pnimiyus haTorah (innermost Torah teaching) and words of chizzuk, ministering to one another with Tehillim, shirim, and neshamah niggunim miRuach Hakodesh (soul melodies from the Ruach Hakodesh) with gratitude, singing in your levavot to Hashem.#3:16 Ps 47:7
17And whatever thing you do, whether in dvar or in ma'aseh, do all things b'Shem Adoneinu Yehoshua, giving todot to Elohim HaAv through him.#3:17 Moshiach
18Nashim (wives), make yourselves accountable to your ba'alim (husbands), as is proper in Adoneinu.
19Ba'alim, have ahavah for your nashim and do not be bitter against them.
20Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in all things, for this is well pleasing in Adoneinu.
21Avot, do not provoke your yeladim, lest they be disheartened.
22Avadim (servants), each of you obey in all things your adon according to the basar, not with eye service as pleasers of Bnei Adam, but with tom lev, with yirat Shomayim.
23Whatever you do, be po'alim (workers) who with their neshamah work facing Adoneinu and not Bnei Adam,
24Having da'as that from Adoneinu you will receive the sachar of the nachalah#3:24 Co 1:12; Ps 16:5-6 (alloted inheritance). Serve Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
25For the one doing wrong will be repaid for his wrong, ki ein masso panim im Hashem (for there is no respect of persons with G-d, no partiality).

Colossians 3

Living the New Life
1Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 2Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. 3For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. 4And when Christ, who is your#3:4 Some manuscripts read our. life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
5So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. 6Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.#3:6 Some manuscripts read is coming on all who disobey him. 7You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. 8But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. 10Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. 11In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile,#3:11a Greek a Greek. circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized,#3:11b Greek Barbarian, Scythian. slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
12Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
16Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. 17And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
Instructions for Christian Households
18Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.
19Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.
20Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord. 21Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged.
22Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord. 23Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. 24Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.#3:24 Or and serve Christ as your Master. 25But if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favorites.
