Colossians 3

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 You have been raised up with Christ. So think about things that are in heaven. That is where Christ is. He is sitting at God's right hand.

2 Think about things that are in heaven. Don't think about things that are on earth.

3 You died. Now your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 Christ is your life. When he appears again, you also will appear with him in heaven's glory.

5 So put to death anything that belongs to your earthly nature. Get rid of your sexual sins and unclean acts. Don't let your feelings get out of control. Remove from your life all evil longings. Stop always wanting more and more. You might as well be worshiping statues of gods.

6 God's anger is going to come because of those things.

7 That's the way you lived at one time in your life.

8 But now here are the kinds of things you must get rid of. You must put away anger, rage, hate and lies. Let no dirty words come out of your mouths.

9 Don't lie to each other. You have gotten rid of your old way of life and its habits.

10 You have started living a new life. It is being made new so that what you know has the Creator's likeness.

11 Here there is no Greek or Jew. There is no difference between those who are circumcised and those who are not. There is no rude outsider, or even a Scythian. There is no slave or free person. But Christ is everything. And he is in everything.

12 You are God's chosen people. You are holy and dearly loved. So put on tender mercy and kindness as if they were your clothes. Don't be proud. Be gentle and patient.

13 Put up with each other. Forgive the things you are holding against one another. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you.

14 And over all of those good things put on love. Love holds them all together perfectly as if they were one.

15 Let the peace that Christ gives rule in your hearts. As parts of one body, you were appointed to live in peace. And be thankful.

16 Let Christ's word live in you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct each other wisely. Sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing with thanks in your hearts to God.

17 Do everything you say or do in the name of the Lord Jesus. Always give thanks to God the Father through Christ.

18 Wives, follow the lead of your husbands. That's what the Lord wants you to do.

19 Husbands, love your wives. Don't be mean to them.

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

21 Fathers, don't make your children bitter. If you do, they will lose hope.

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything. Don't do it just to please them when they are watching you. Obey them with an honest heart. Do it out of respect for the Lord.

23 Work at everything you do with all your heart. Work as if you were working for the Lord, not for human masters.

24 Work because you know that you will finally receive as a reward what the Lord wants you to have. You are serving the Lord Christ.

25 Anyone who does wrong will be paid back for what he does. God treats everyone the same.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 igitur si conresurrexistis Christo quae sursum sunt quaerite ubi Christus est in dextera Dei sedens

2 quae sursum sunt sapite non quae supra terram

3 mortui enim estis et vita vestra abscondita est cum Christo in Deo

4 cum Christus apparuerit vita vestra tunc et vos apparebitis cum ipso in gloria

5 mortificate ergo membra vestra quae sunt super terram fornicationem inmunditiam libidinem concupiscentiam malam et avaritiam quae est simulacrorum servitus

6 propter quae venit ira Dei super filios incredulitatis

7 in quibus et vos ambulastis aliquando cum viveretis in illis

8 nunc autem deponite et vos omnia iram indignationem malitiam blasphemiam turpem sermonem de ore vestro

9 nolite mentiri invicem expoliantes vos veterem hominem cum actibus eius

10 et induentes novum eum qui renovatur in agnitionem secundum imaginem eius qui creavit eum

11 ubi non est gentilis et Iudaeus circumcisio et praeputium barbarus et Scytha servus et liber sed omnia et in omnibus Christus

12 induite vos ergo sicut electi Dei sancti et dilecti viscera misericordiae benignitatem humilitatem modestiam patientiam

13 subportantes invicem et donantes vobis ipsis si quis adversus aliquem habet querellam sicut et Dominus donavit vobis ita et vos

14 super omnia autem haec caritatem quod est vinculum perfectionis

15 et pax Christi exultet in cordibus vestris in qua et vocati estis in uno corpore et grati estote

16 verbum Christi habitet in vobis abundanter in omni sapientia docentes et commonentes vosmet ipsos psalmis hymnis canticis spiritalibus in gratia cantantes in cordibus vestris Deo

17 omne quodcumque facitis in verbo aut in opere omnia in nomine Domini Iesu gratias agentes Deo et Patri per ipsum

18 mulieres subditae estote viris sicut oportet in Domino

19 viri diligite uxores et nolite amari esse ad illas

20 filii oboedite parentibus per omnia hoc enim placitum est in Domino

21 patres nolite ad indignationem provocare filios vestros ut non pusillo animo fiant

22 servi oboedite per omnia dominis carnalibus non ad oculum servientes quasi hominibus placentes sed in simplicitate cordis timentes Dominum

23 quodcumque facitis ex animo operamini sicut Domino et non hominibus

24 scientes quod a Domino accipietis retributionem hereditatis Domino Christo servite

25 qui enim iniuriam facit recipiet id quod inique gessit et non est personarum acceptio
