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

The New Life in Christ
1So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, 3for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ who is your#3.4 Other authorities read our life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.
5Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). 6On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient.#3.6 Other ancient authorities lack on those who are disobedient (Gk the children of disobedience) 7These are the ways you also once followed, when you were living that life.#3.7 Or living among such people 8But now you must get rid of all such things—anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive#3.8 Or filthy language from your mouth. 9Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices 10and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. 11In that renewal#3.11 Gk its creator, 11 where there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!
12As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord#3.13 Other ancient authorities read just as Christ has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ#3.16 Other ancient authorities read of God, or of the Lord dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.#3.16 Other ancient authorities read to the Lord 17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Rules for Christian Households
18Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.
20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is your acceptable duty in the Lord. 21Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart. 22Slaves, obey your earthly masters#3.22 In Greek the same word is used for master and Lord in everything, not only while being watched and in order to please them, but wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.#3.22 In Greek the same word is used for master and Lord 23Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters,#3.23 Gk not for men 24since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve#3.24 Or you are slaves of, or be slaves of the Lord Christ. 25For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong has been done, and there is no partiality.
