1  If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at [the] right [hand] of God.

1  Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

2  Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.

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

4  Whenever Christ [who is] our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

4  When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.

4  When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

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

5  Therefore, mortify your body, while it is upon the earth. For because of fornication, impurity, lust, evil desires, and avarice, which are a kind of service to idols,

5  Mortify therefore your earthly members: immorality, uncleanness, intemperate desires, evil lusts, and covetousness, for these are idolatry;

6  Because of which things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience,

6  the wrath of God has overwhelmed the sons of unbelief.

7  in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

7  You, too, walked in these things, in times past, when you were living among them.

8  But now you yourselves are to put off all [these]: wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

8  But now you must set aside all these things: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, and indecent speech from your mouth.

8  But now put off from you all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, foul conversation.

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

9  lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,

9  Do not lie one to another, but put away the old life with all its practices;

10  and have put on the new man who is renewed in full knowledge according to the image of Him who created it,

10  and clothe yourself with the new man, who has been renewed by knowledge, in accord with the image of the One who created him,

10  And put on the new life which is renewed in knowledge after the pattern in which it was originally created

11  where there is not Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

11  where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, servant nor free. Instead, Christ is everything, in everyone.

12  Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience;

12  Put on therefore, as God`s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

13  forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone should have a complaint against any; just as Christ forgave you, so you also [do].

13  Support one another, and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do.

14  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

14  And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to YHWH.

16  And let his word dwell in you abundantly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.

17  And whatever you may do in word or deed, do all things in the name of YHWH Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

17  Let everything whatsoever that you do, whether in word or in deed, be done all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

18  Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as is fitting in YHWH.

18  Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord.

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

20  Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing in YHWH.

21  Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

22  Bondservants, obey your masters according to the flesh in all things, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.

22  Servants, obey, in all things, your lords according to the flesh, not serving only when seen, as if to please men, but serving in simplicity of heart, fearing God.

23  And whatever you may do, work [it] from your soul, as to YHWH and not to men,

23  whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;

24  knowing that from YHWH you will receive the reward of the inheritance. For you serve the Lord Christ.

24  For you know that you will receive from the Lord the repayment of an inheritance. Serve Christ the Lord.

25  But the [one] doing wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is not partiality.

25  For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

25  For whoever causes injury shall be repaid for what he has wrongfully done. And there no favoritism with God.
