歌罗西书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
追求属天的事
3 你们既然和基督一同复活了，就应当追求天上的事，那里有坐在上帝右边的基督。 2 你们要思想天上的事，而不是地上的事， 3 因为你们的旧生命已经死了，你们的新生命与基督一同藏在上帝里面。 4 基督就是你们的新生命，祂显现的时候，你们也必和祂一起在荣耀中显现。
5 所以，你们要治死身上属世的罪恶，如淫乱、污秽、邪情、恶欲和贪心，贪心就是拜偶像， 6 因为上帝的烈怒必临到做这些事的悖逆之人。 7 你们过去也和他们一样过着罪恶的生活， 8 但现在必须杜绝这一切的恶事，如怒气、愤恨、恶毒、毁谤和污言秽语。 9 不要彼此说谎，因为你们已经脱去了旧人和旧的行为， 10 穿上了新人。这新人在知识上不断更新，更像他的造物主。 11 从此，不再分希腊人、犹太人，受割礼的、未受割礼的，野蛮人、未开化的人[a]，奴隶和自由人，基督就是一切，并且贯穿一切。
12 所以，你们既然是上帝所拣选的，是圣洁、蒙爱的人，就要心存怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔和忍耐。 13 倘若彼此之间有怨言，总要互相宽容，彼此饶恕，主怎样饶恕你们，你们也要照样饶恕他人。 14 最重要的是要有爱，爱能把一切完美地联合在一起。 15 要让基督的平安掌管你们的心，你们就是为此而蒙召成为一个身体。要常存感恩的心。 16 要将基督的话丰丰富富地存在心里，用各样智慧彼此教导，互相劝诫，以感恩的心用诗篇、圣乐、灵歌颂赞上帝。 17 你们无论做什么事、说什么话，都要奉主耶稣的名而行，并借着祂感谢父上帝。
和谐家庭
18 你们做妻子的，要顺服丈夫，信主的人应当这样做。 19 你们做丈夫的，要爱妻子，不可恶待她们。 20 你们做儿女的，凡事要听从父母，因为这是主所喜悦的。 21 你们做父亲的，不要激怒儿女，免得他们灰心丧志。 22 你们做奴仆的，凡事要听从你们世上的主人，不要只做讨好人的表面工夫，要以敬畏主的心真诚服侍。 23 无论做什么事，都要发自内心，像是为主做的，而不是为人做的， 24 因为你们知道自己一定会从主那里得到基业为奖赏。你们事奉的是主基督， 25 凡作恶的人终必自食恶果，因为上帝不偏待人。

追求屬天的事
3 你們既然和基督一同復活了，就應當追求天上的事，那裡有坐在上帝右邊的基督。 2 你們要思想天上的事，而不是地上的事， 3 因為你們的舊生命已經死了，你們的新生命與基督一同藏在上帝裡面。 4 基督就是你們的新生命，祂顯現的時候，你們也必和祂一起在榮耀中顯現。
5 所以，你們要治死身上屬世的罪惡，如淫亂、污穢、邪情、惡慾和貪心，貪心就是拜偶像， 6 因為上帝的烈怒必臨到做這些事的悖逆之人。 7 你們過去也和他們一樣過著罪惡的生活， 8 但現在必須杜絕這一切的惡事，如怒氣、憤恨、惡毒、毀謗和污言穢語。 9 不要彼此說謊，因為你們已經脫去了舊人和舊的行為， 10 穿上了新人。這新人在知識上不斷更新，更像他的造物主。 11 從此，不再分希臘人、猶太人，受割禮的、未受割禮的，野蠻人、未開化的人[a]，奴隸和自由人，基督就是一切，並且貫穿一切。
12 所以，你們既然是上帝所揀選的，是聖潔、蒙愛的人，就要心存憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔和忍耐。 13 倘若彼此之間有怨言，總要互相寬容，彼此饒恕，主怎樣饒恕你們，你們也要照樣饒恕他人。 14 最重要的是要有愛，愛能把一切完美地聯合在一起。 15 要讓基督的平安掌管你們的心，你們就是為此而蒙召成為一個身體。要常存感恩的心。 16 要將基督的話豐豐富富地存在心裡，用各樣智慧彼此教導，互相勸誡，以感恩的心用詩篇、聖樂、靈歌頌讚上帝。 17 你們無論做什麼事、說什麼話，都要奉主耶穌的名而行，並藉著祂感謝父上帝。

Colossians 3
New King James Version
Not Carnality but Christ
3 If then you were (A)raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, (B)where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the (C)earth. 3 (D)For you died, (E)and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 (F)When Christ who is (G)our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in (H)glory.
5 (I)Therefore put to death (J)your members which are on the earth: (K)fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (L)which is idolatry. 6 (M)Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon (N)the sons of disobedience, 7 (O)in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
8 (P)But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who (Q)is renewed in knowledge (R)according to the image of Him who (S)created him, 11 where there is neither (T)Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, (U)but Christ is all and in all.
Character of the New Man
12 Therefore, (V)as the elect of God, holy and beloved, (W)put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 (X)bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 (Y)But above all these things (Z)put on love, which is the (AA)bond of perfection. 15 And let (AB)the peace of God rule in your hearts, (AC)to which also you were called (AD)in one body; and (AE)be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another (AF)in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And (AG)whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
The Christian Home(AH)
18 (AI)Wives, submit to your own husbands, (AJ)as is fitting in the Lord.
19 (AK)Husbands, love your wives and do not be (AL)bitter toward them.
20 (AM)Children, obey your parents (AN)in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
21 (AO)Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
22 (AP)Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 (AQ)And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 (AR)knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; (AS)for[a] you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and (AT)there is no partiality.

Colossians 3
King James Version
3 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 affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
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 the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye 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 the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
