Paul’s Letter to the Colossians
3. fejezet
1. vers
If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2. vers
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3. vers
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4. vers
When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5. vers
Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
6. vers
For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7. vers
You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
8. vers
but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9. vers
Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10. vers
and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11. vers
where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
12. vers
Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
13. vers
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
14. vers
Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15. vers
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
16. vers
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
17. vers
Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18. vers
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19. vers
Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
20. vers
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
21. vers
Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
22. vers
Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
23. vers
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
24. vers
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
25. vers
But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
