Colossians 3 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Put On the New Man

Therefore^G3767, if^G1487 you have been raised^G4891 up with Christ^G5547, keep seeking^G2212 the things above^G507, where^G3757 Christ^G5547 is, seated^G2521 at the right^G1188 hand^G1188 of God^G2316.

Col 3:2

Col 3:2 [fn]Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

Col 3:3

Col 3:3For you died and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.

Col 3:4

Col 3:4When Christ, who is our life, is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory.

Col 3:5

Therefore^G3767, [fn]consider^G3499 the members^G3196 of your earthly^G1093 body as^G3499 dead^G3499 to sexual^G4202 immorality^G4202, impurity^G167, passion^G3806, evil^G2556 desire^G1939, and greed^G4124, which^G3748 is^G1510 idolatry^G1495.

Col 3:6

Col 3:6On account of these things, the wrath of God is coming [fn]upon the sons of disobedience,

Col 3:7

Col 3:7and in them you also once walked, when you were living [fn]in them.

Col 3:8

Col 3:8But now you also, lay them all aside: wrath, anger, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.

Col 3:9

Col 3:9 [fn]Do not lie to one another, since you put off the old man with its evil practices,

Col 3:10

Col 3:10and have put on the new man who is being [fn]renewed to a full knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—

Col 3:11

Col 3:11a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [fn]barbarian, Scythian, slave, and freeman, but Christ is all and in all.

Col 3:12

So^G3767, as the elect^G1588 of God^G2316, holy^G40 and beloved^G25, put^G1746 on a heart^G4698 of compassion^G3628, kindness^G5544, humility^G5012, gentleness^G4240, and [fn]patience^G3115;

Col 3:13

Col 3:13bearing with one another, and graciously forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, just as the Lord graciously forgave you, so also should you.

Col 3:14

Col 3:14Above all these things put on love, which is [fn]the perfect bond of unity.

Col 3:15

Col 3:15And let the peace of Christ [fn]rule in your hearts, to which [fn]indeed you were called in one body, and [fn]be thankful.

Col 3:16

Col 3:16Let the word of [fn]Christ dwell in you richly, [fn]with all wisdom teaching and admonishing [fn]one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing [fn]with gratefulness in your hearts to God.

Col 3:17

Col 3:17And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Col 3:18

Wives^G1135, be subject^G5293 to your husbands^G435, as is fitting^G433 in the Lord^G2962.

Col 3:19

Col 3:19Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

Col 3:20

Col 3:20Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is pleasing [fn]to the Lord.

Col 3:21

Col 3:21Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

Col 3:22

Slaves^G1401, in all^G3956 things^G3956 obey^G5219 those^G3588 who are your masters^G2962 [fn]according to the flesh^G4561, not with eyeservice^G3787, as men-pleasers^G441, but with [fn]integrity^G572 of heart^G2588, fearing^G5399 the Lord^G2962.
