Colossians 3

Authored by: American Standard Version
3:1
Ει ουν συνηγερθητε τω Χριστω τα ανω ζητειτε ου ο Χριστος εστιν εν δεξια του Θεου καθημενος
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
1
3:2
τα ανω φρονειτε μη τα επι της γης
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
3:3
απεθανετε γαρ και η ζωη υμων κεκρυπται συν τω Χριστω εν τω Θεω
For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
3:4
οταν ο Χριστος φανερωθη η ζωη υμων τοτε και υμεις συν αυτω φανερωθησεσθε εν δοξη
When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.
3:5
Νεκρωσατε ουν τα μελη τα επι της γης πορνειαν ακαθαρσιαν παθος επιθυμιαν κακην και την πλεονεξιαν ητις εστιν ειδωλολατρια
Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
3:6
δι α ερχεται η οργη του Θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας
for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:
3:7
εν οις και υμεις περιεπατησατε ποτε οτε εζητε εν τουτοις
wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;
3:8
νυνι δε αποθεσθε και υμεις τα παντα οργην θυμον κακιαν βλασφημιαν αισχρολογιαν εκ του στοματος υμων
but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
3:9
Μη ψευδεσθε εις αλληλους απεκδυσαμενοι τον παλαιον ανθρωπον συν ταις πραξεσιν αυτου
lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,
3:10
και ενδυσαμενοι τον νεον τον ανακαινουμενον εις επιγνωσιν κατ εικονα του κτισαντος αυτον
and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:
3:11
οπου ουκ ενι Ελλην και Ιουδαιος περιτομη και ακροβυστια βαρβαρος Σκυθης δουλος ελευθερος αλλα τα παντα και εν πασιν Χριστος
where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
3:12
Ενδυσασθε ουν ως εκλεκτοι του Θεου αγιοι και ηγαπημενοι σπλαγχνα οικτιρμου χρηστοτητα ταπεινοφροσυνην πραυτητα μακροθυμιαν
Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
3:13
ανεχομενοι αλληλων και χαριζομενοι εαυτοις εαν τις προς τινα εχη μομφην καθως και ο Κυριος εχαρισατο υμιν ουτως και υμεις
forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:
3:14
επι πασιν δε τουτοις την αγαπην ο εστιν συνδεσμος της τελειοτητος
and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
3:15
και η ειρηνη του Χριστου βραβευετω εν ταις καρδιαις υμων εις ην και εκληθητε εν ενι σωματι και ευχαριστοι γινεσθε
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
3:16
Ο λογος του Χριστου ενοικειτω εν υμιν πλουσιως εν παση σοφια διδασκοντες και νουθετουντες εαυτους ψαλμοις υμνοις ωδαις πνευματικαις εν τη χαριτι αδοντες εν ταις καρδιαις υμων τω Θεω
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.
3:17
και παν ο τι εαν ποιητε εν λογω η εν εργω παντα εν ονοματι Κυριου Ιησου ευχαριστουντες τω Θεω Πατρι δι αυτου
And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
3:18
Αι γυναικες υποτασσεσθε τοις ανδρασιν ως ανηκεν εν Κυριω
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
3:19
Οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας και μη πικραινεσθε προς αυτας
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
3:20
Τα τεκνα υπακουετε τοις γονευσιν κατα παντα τουτο γαρ ευαρεστον εστιν εν Κυριω
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
3:21
Οι πατερες μη ερεθιζετε τα τεκνα υμων ινα μη αθυμωσιν
Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.
3:22
Οι δουλοι υπακουετε κατα παντα τοις κατα σαρκα κυριοις μη εν οφθαλμοδουλιαις ως ανθρωπαρεσκοι αλλ εν απλοτητι καρδιας φοβουμενοι τον Κυριον
Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:
3:23
Ο εαν ποιητε εκ ψυχης εργαζεσθε ως τω Κυριω και ουκ ανθρωποις
whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;
3:24
ειδοτες οτι απο Κυριου απολημψεσθε την ανταποδοσιν της κληρονομιας τω Κυριω Χριστω δουλευετε
knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.
3:25
ο γαρ αδικων κομισεται ο ηδικησεν και ουκ εστιν προσωπολημψια
For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
