Colossians 3

3
CHAPTIR THRIE.
The new man to be putten‐on; and aʼ folk, in aʼ stations to do Godʼs wull.
1Gin, than, ye war raised frae the deid wiʼ Christ, seek the things on Heigh, whar Christ is, at Godʼs richt haun sittin.
2Be determined on things aboon, no on thae oʼ the yirth.
3For ye deeʼt, and yere life has come to be hid, eʼen wiʼ Christ, in God.
4Whansoʼer Christ, oor life, sal be seen, your life, than, alang wiʼ his, sal be seen in glorie.
5Slay, than, yere members, as to things on the yirth: lachery, impurity, passion, base desires, and greed, whilk is eidol‐servin.
6For whilk things Godʼs angʼer is comin on the bairns oʼ disobedience.
7In whilk, eʼen ye walkit at ae time; whan ye war leevin iʼ the same.
8But noo pit ye them aʼ awa: angʼer, wrath, malice, miscaʼin, shamefuʼ talk oot oʼ yere mooth.
9Speak‐na twafauld ane to anither; haein put aff frae ye the “auld” man, wiʼ aʼ his deeds,
10And haein putten on ye the “new,” wha is formed anew into knowledge, eftir the likeness oʼ him that creatit him.
11Whaur naither “Greek” nor “Jew” comes in; circumceesion nor uncircumceesion, fremd ane, Scythian, bond, nor free: but Christ aʼ; and Christ in aʼ.
12Pit ye on, than, as chosen anes oʼ God, holie and weel‐loʼed, the tender‐affections oʼ compassion, graciousness, humbleness oʼ mind, canniness, patience:
13Tholin ane‐anither, in tenderness forgiean ane‐anither, gin aiblins ony ane has a compleent again ony; eʼen as the Lord oot oʼ love forgae you, sae do ye.
14But ower and aboon aʼ thir things, hae ye love, whilk wull bind thegither aʼ things in perfeteness.
15And lat the peace oʼ Christ be Regent in yere hearts; till whilk ye war bidden, as ae body; and be ye thankfuʼ.
16Be the word oʼ Christ dwallin in ye richly; in aʼ wyss teachin and admonishin oʼ yersels, in psalms, in hymns, and godly sangs: liltin iʼ yere hearts to God in yere gratitude.
17And in aʼ things, whatsaeʼer ye be doin, in word or in wark, do aʼ in the name oʼ the Lord Jesus, giean thanks to yere God and Faither throwe him.
18Wives, submit yersels to yere husbands, as is fittin in the Lord.
19Husbands, loʼe yere wives, and be‐na set again them.
20Bairns, be ye biddable to yere parents in aʼ things, for this is weel‐pleasin iʼ the Lord.
21Faithers, wauken‐na up angʼer in yere bairns, least they be disheartened.
22Servants, be biddable in aʼ things to yere maisters iʼ the flesh; no by way oʼ ee‐service, as men?-?pleasers, but in aefauldness oʼ heart, fearin the Lord.
23Whatsaeʼer ye may do, oot oʼ the saul do it, as for the Lord, and no for men.
24Kennin that frae the Lord sal ye duly receive the gree, eʼen the inheritance: to the Lord Christ are ye doin service.
25For he that is doin wrangouslie, sal hae returnʼt to him what he wrangouslie did; and thar is nae walin oot oʼ faces.
