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).

Put On the New Self
1 # ch. 2:12 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek #[Phil. 3:14] the things that are above, where Christ is, #See Eph. 1:20seated at the right hand of God. 2#See Matt. 16:23Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For #ch. 2:20; See Rom. 6:2you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ #See John 11:25 who is your#3:4 Some manuscripts our life #[Phil. 3:21; 1 Pet. 1:1, 7, 13; 1 John 2:28; 3:2] appears, then you also will appear with him #1 Cor. 15:43in glory.
5 #
Rom. 8:13; [Gal. 5:24] Put to death therefore #Rom. 6:13 what is earthly in you:#3:5 Greek therefore your members that are on the earth #See Eph. 5:3, 5 sexual immorality, impurity, #Rom. 1:26 passion, evil desire, and covetousness, #[Job 31:25, 26]which is idolatry. 6#See Eph. 5:6On account of these the wrath of God is coming.#3:6 Some manuscripts add upon the sons of disobedience 7#See Eph. 2:2, 11In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8But now #See Eph. 4:22 you must put them all away: #Eph. 4:31 anger, wrath, malice, #See Eph. 4:29slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9#Lev. 19:11; See Eph. 4:25 Do not lie to one another, seeing that #ch. 2:11 you have put off #Rom. 6:6; Eph. 4:22the old self#3:9 Greek man; also as supplied in verse 10 with its practices 10and #Eph. 4:24 have put on #See Rom. 6:4 the new self, #See Rom. 12:2 which is being renewed in knowledge #See Rom. 8:29 after the image of #[Eph. 2:10]its creator. 11#[Rom. 10:12]; See 1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 5:6 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,#3:11 For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface; likewise for Bondservants in verse 22 free; but Christ is #Eph. 1:23all, and in all.
12 # ver. 10 Put on then, as #Rom. 8:33 God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, #Phil. 2:1 compassionate hearts, #Eph. 4:32 kindness, #See Eph. 4:2humility, meekness, and patience, 13#[See ver. 12 above] bearing with one another and, #Mark 11:25 if one has a complaint against another, #[See ver. 12 above]forgiving each other; #[See ver. 12 above]as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14And above all these put on #[1 Thess. 5:8]; See Eph. 5:2 love, which #Eph. 4:3 binds everything together in #Heb. 6:1; [John 17:23]perfect harmony. 15And let #See Phil. 4:7 the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called #Eph. 2:16 in one body. And #ver. 17be thankful. 16Let #John 15:3 the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, #See Eph. 5:19 singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, #ch. 4:6with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17And #ver. 23; 1 Cor. 10:31 whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, #ch. 1:12; 4:2; See Eph. 5:20giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Rules for Christian Households
18 # For ch. 3:18–4:1, see Eph. 5:22–6:9 Wives, submit to your husbands, as #Eph. 5:4; Philem. 8is fitting in the Lord. 19Husbands, love your wives, and #Eph. 4:31do not be harsh with them. 20Children, obey your parents #[Eph. 5:24; Titus 2:9]in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 22Bondservants, obey #[See ver. 20 above]in everything those who are your earthly masters,#3:22 Or your masters according to the flesh not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23#ver. 17 Whatever you do, work heartily, #[Philem. 16]as for the Lord and not for men, 24knowing that from the Lord #[Eph. 6:8] you will receive the inheritance as your reward. #[1 Cor. 7:22]You are serving the Lord Christ. 25For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
