MODERN LITERAL VERSION

[1][2][3][4]

Colossians
Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore if you* were raised up together with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is, seated by the right hand of God.

3:2 Be mindful of the things which are above, not the things which are upon the earth.

3:3 For* you* died and your* life is hid with Christ in God.

3:4 Whenever Christ, who is our life, is manifested, then you* will also be manifested with him in glory.


3:5 Therefore put to death your* members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry.

3:6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;

3:7 among whom you* also previously walked, when you* lived in these things.

3:8 But also now, place all these things away from yourselves: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, obscene speech from your* mouth.


3:9 Do not lie to one another; since you* have stripped off the old man with his practices,

3:10 and were clothed with the new man, who is being renewed to the full knowledge according to the image of him who created him;

3:11 where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free man, but Christ is all and in all.


3:12 Therefore as God's chosen, holy and beloved, be clothed with a heart* of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience,

3:13 tolerating one another and forgiving* each other. If anyone has a complaint toward anyone; just-as the Christ forgave* you*, so you* also forgive *.

3:14 But over all these things put on love*, which is the bond of maturity.

3:15 And let the peace of God be arbitrating in your* hearts, to which you* were also called in one body, and become thankful.

3:16 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* heart to the Lord.

3:17 And whatever you* do in word or in works, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving-thanks to the God and Father through him.


3:18 Wives, be subject to your* own husbands, as is proper in the Lord.


3:19 Husbands, love* your* wives, and do not be bitter toward them.


3:20 Children, obey* your* parents in all things, for* this is well pleasing in the Lord.


3:21 Fathers, do not aggravate your* children, in order that they may not be discouraged.


3:22 Bondservants obey those who are your* lords according to the flesh in all things; not with eye-service, like men-pleasers, but in clarity of heart, fearing God.


3:23 And whatever you* do, work from your soul, as you would to the Lord and not as to men;

3:24 knowing that from the Lord you* will receive the payment of the inheritance; for* you* are serving* the Lord Christ.

3:25 But he who does wrong will get back what he did wrong and there is no partiality with God.
