Qolasim (Colossians) 3
3
1If, then, you were raised with Messiah, seek the matters which are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of Elohim.# Psa. 110:1
2Mind the matters above, not those on the earth.
3For you have died, and your life has been hidden with Messiah in Elohim.
4When the Messiah, who is our life, is manifested, then you also shall be manifested with Him in esteem.
5Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: whoring, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and greed of gain, which is idolatry.
6Because of these the wrath of Elohim is coming upon the sons of disobedience,#See Eph. 2:2; Eph. 5:6
7in which you also once walked when you lived in them.
8But now, also put off all these: displeasure, wrath, evil, blasphemy, filthy talk from your mouth.
9Do not lie to each other, since you have put off the old man#See Rom. 6:6; Eph. 4:22 with his practices,
10and have put on the new one who is renewed in knowledge according to the likeness of Him who created him,
11where there is not Greek and Yehuḏi, circumcised and uncircumcised, foreigner, Scythian, slave, free, but Messiah is all, and in all.
12Therefore, as chosen ones of Elohim, set-apart and beloved, put on compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, patience,
13bearing with one another, and forgiving each other if anyone has a complaint against another, indeed, as Messiah forgave you so also should you.
14But above all these put on love, which is a bond of the perfection.
15And let the peace of Elohim rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one Body, and be filled with thanks.
16Let the Word of Messiah#See John 12:48; Deu. 18:19; Rev. 19:13 dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing with pleasure in your hearts to the Master in psalms and songs of praise and spiritual songs.
17And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Master יהושע, giving thanks to Elohim the Father through Him.
18Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as is proper in the Master.
19Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.
20Children, obey your parents in all, for this is well-pleasing to the Master.
21Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
22Servants, obey your masters according to the flesh in all respects, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing Elohim.
23And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Master and not to men,
24knowing that from the Master you shall receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Master, Messiah, you serve.
25But he who does wrong shall be repaid for the wrong which he has done, and there is no partiality.

Colossians 3

Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your#3:4 Some manuscripts our life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.#3:6 Some early manuscripts coming on those who are disobedient 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Instructions for Christian Households
18Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21Fathers,#3:21 Or Parents do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
22Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.
