Colossians 3

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

2 Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

3 For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

4 At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

5 Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

6 Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

7 Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.

8 But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;

9 Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

10 And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

11 Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

12 As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

13 Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:

14 And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.

15 And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

16 Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

17 And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

18 Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.

19 Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.

20 Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

21 Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.

22 Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

23 Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;

24 Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

25 For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 If 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" TEHILLIM 110:1), sitting at the right hand of Hashem.

2 Place your machshavot (thoughts) above (in Shomayim), not on the things of the Olam Hazeh.

3 For you died and the Chayyim of you has become nistar (hidden, 2:3) with Moshiach in Hashem.

4 When 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.

5 Therefore, put to death your evarim (members) in the Olam Hazeh: zenut (fornication), debauchery, sensuality, zimmah (licentiousness), and chamdanut (covetousness), which is avodah zarah (idolatry).

6 Because of such things as these the charon af Hashem habah (the coming burning wrath of Hashem) is on the way.

7 Such was your derech to fier zich (comport oneself), the derech resha’im formerly [TEHILLIM 1:6], when you were living in these things.

8 But now you also put away all these things: ka’as (anger), rage, kavvanah ra’ah (malice) chillul Hashem (blasphemy). Put away loshon hora from your mouth.

9 Do not speak sheker to one another, having disrobed from the Adam hakadmoni (old [unregenerated] humanity) with his ma’asim (works),

10 And instead enrobe with the Adam HaChadash, the one being renewed in da’as in accordance with the demut (1:15; BERESHIS 1:26-27; Pp 2:6) of the One having created him.

11 Here 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.

12 Therefore, as Bechirim (Chosen ones) of Hashem, Kadoshim and ahuvim, enrobe yourselves in tender feelings of rachmei Shomayim (heavenly compassion, mercy), chesed (lovingkindness), anavah (humility), shiflut (lowliness), and savlanut (longsuffering),

13 Being 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.

14 And to all these things add ahavah, which is the agudah of tamimim.

15 And let the shalom of Moshiach arbitrate in your levavot. You were called to this shalom in one NEVELAH [DEVARIM 21:23; cf geviyah, BERESHIS 47:18; cf basar, TEHILLIM 16:9-10; IYOV 19:25-27; YESHAYAH 53:11, guf (body)]. Let there be todah in your levavot.

16 Let the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach make its mishkan in you richly, in all chochmah and in all Moshiach’s 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. [TEHILLIM 47:7]

17 And 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 [Moshiach].

18 Nashim (wives), make yourselves accountable to your ba’alim (husbands), as is proper in Adoneinu.

19 Ba’alim, have ahavah for your nashim and do not be bitter against them.

20 Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in all things, for this is well pleasing in Adoneinu.

21 Avot, do not provoke your yeladim, lest they be disheartened.

22 Avadim (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.

23 Whatever you do, be po’alim (workers) who with their neshamah work facing Adoneinu and not Bnei Adam,

24 Having da’as that from Adoneinu you will receive the sachar of the nachalah (alloted inheritance, 1:12, TEHILLIM 16:5-6). Serve Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

25 For 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).
