Colossians 3

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 If ye then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where the Christ sits at the right hand of God.

2 Set your sight on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead and your life is hid with the Christ in God.

4 When Christ, <em>who</em> is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil lust, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

6 for which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience,

7 in which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8 But now put ye also off all these things: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

9 Lie not one to another, putting off the old man with his deeds

10 and <em>being</em> clothed with the new <em>man</em>, who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one that created him,

11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, slave <em>nor</em> free: but Christ <em>is</em> all and in all.

12 Clothed, therefore, (as the elect of God, holy and beloved) with bowels of mercies, with kindness, with humility, with meekness, with tolerance,

13 forbearing one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a quarrel against another: even as Christ forgave you, so also <em>do</em> ye.

14 And above all these things <em>put on</em> charity, which is the bond of perfection.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, into which likewise ye are called into one body, and be ye thankful.

16 Let the word of the Christ dwell in you in abundance in all wisdom, teaching you and exhorting you one to another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with grace singing in your hearts unto the Lord.

17 And whatever ye do whether in word or deed, <em>do</em> all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to the God and Father by him.

18 Wives, be subject to your own husbands as it is fit in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love <em>your</em> wives and do not be bitter against them.

20 Children, obey <em>your</em> parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

21 Fathers, provoke not your children lest they become disheartened.

22 Slaves, in all things hearken unto <em>your</em> masters according to the flesh, not serving to be seen as those who <em>only</em> please men, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;

23 And whatever ye do, do <em>it</em> heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men,

24 knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.

25 But he that does wrong shall receive the wrong which he has done, <em>now</em> that there is no respect of persons.

New International Version NIV

1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.

8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices

10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

16 Let 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.

17 And 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.

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

22 Slaves, 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.

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,

24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.
