Colossians 3 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Put On the New Self

Col 3:1Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

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 have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Col 3:4

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

Col 3:5

Col 3:5Therefore [fn]consider the members of your earthly body as dead to [fn]immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which [fn]amounts to idolatry.

Col 3:6

Col 3:6For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come [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, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.

Col 3:9

Col 3:9 [fn]Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old [fn]self with its evil practices,

Col 3:10

Col 3:10and have put on the new self who is being [fn]renewed to a true 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

Col 3:12So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and [fn]patience;

Col 3:13

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

Col 3:14

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

Col 3:15

Col 3:15Let 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 richly dwell within you, [fn]with all wisdom teaching and admonishing [fn]one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing [fn]with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Col 3:17

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

Family Relations

(cf. Eph 5:21—6:9 )

Col 3:18

Col 3:18Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

Col 3:19

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

Col 3:20

Col 3:20Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-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

Col 3:22Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters [fn]on earth, not with [fn]external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

Col 3:23

Col 3:23Whatever you do, do your work [fn]heartily, as for the Lord [fn]rather than for men,

Col 3:24

Col 3:24knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward [fn]of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

Col 3:25

Col 3:25For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and [fn]that without partiality.
