골로새서 3
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
그리스도 안의 새 생명
3 여러분은 그리스도와 함께 다시 살아났습니다. 그러니 위에 있는 것들에 마음을 두십시오. 거기는 그리스도께서 하나님의 오른편에 앉아 계시는 곳입니다. 2 이 세상의 것들에 마음을 두지 말고 하늘에 있는 것들에 마음을 두십시오. 3 여러분은 이 세상에서는 이미 죽었기 때문입니다. 여러분의 새 생명은 그리스도와 함께 하나님 안에 있어 보이지 않습니다. 4 우리의 생명이신 그리스도께서 나타나실 때에, 여러분도 그분과 함께 영광 속에 나타나게 될 것입니다.
5 그러므로 여러분 안에 들어 있는 이 세상의 것들, 곧 성적인 부도덕과 순결하지 못한 것과 정욕과 악한 욕망과 탐욕을 모두 죽이십시오. 탐욕은 우상을 섬기는 것과 같습니다. 6 이런 것들 때문에 순종하지 않는 사람들에게[a] 하나님의 진노가 내립니다. 7 여러분도 전에는 이런 것들에 빠져 살았습니다.
8 그러나 이제는 이런 모든 것들, 곧 성냄과 분노와 악한 마음과 남을 헐뜯는 것과 입에서 나오는 더러운 말을 버리십시오. 9 그리고 서로에게 거짓말을 하지 마십시오. 여러분은 옛 행실과 더불어 옛 사람을 벗어버리고, 10 새 사람을 입었기 때문입니다. 이 새 사람은 자기를 만드신 하나님을 닮으려고 끊임없이 새로워집니다. 그리하여 하나님을 완전히 알게 됩니다. 11 이렇게 새로워진 삶에서는, 그리스 사람도 유대 사람도, 할례 받은 사람도 받지 않은 사람도, 야만인도 스구디아인[b]도, 종도 자유인도 없습니다. 그리스도께서는 이 모든 믿는 이들 안에 계십니다. 그리고 그리스도만이 중요합니다.
12 여러분은 하나님의 택하심을 받은 거룩하고[c] 사랑 받는 사람들입니다. 그러니 그런 사람들답게 자비와 친절과 겸손과 관대함과 인내를 옷 입듯 입으십시오. 13 서로에게 불평할 일이 있더라도 서로 참고 용서하십시오. 주님께서 여러분을 용서해 주신 것과 같이 여러분도 용서하십시오. 14 이 모든 것 위에 사랑의 옷을 입으십시오. 사랑은 이 모든 것을 하나로 묶어 완전하게 합니다. 15 그리스도의 평화가 여러분의 마음을 다스리게 하십시오. 이 평화를 누리게 하시려고, 여러분을 한 몸[d]의 지체로 부르신 것입니다. 그리고 언제나 감사하는 마음을 가지십시오. 16 그리스도의 말씀이 여러분 가운데 풍성히 살아 있게 하십시오. 여러분은 그 말씀에서 온갖 지혜를 배워 서로 가르치고 충고하십시오. 감사하는 마음으로 시와 찬송과 신령한 노래로 하나님을 찬양하십시오. 17 여러분은 무슨 말이나 무슨 일이나 모두 주 예수의 이름으로 하고, 그분을 통하여 하나님 아버지께 감사를 드리십시오.
다른 사람들과 살아가는 새로운 삶
18 아내들이여 남편에게 복종하십시오. 이것이 주 안에 있는 사람에게 어울리는 일입니다.
19 남편들이여 여러분의 아내를 사랑하고, 그들을 모질게 대하지 마십시오.
20 자녀들이여 모든 일에 부모에게 순종하십시오. 이것이 주님을 기쁘게 해 드리는 일입니다.
21 부모들이여 자녀들을 자극하여 성나게 하지 마십시오. 그렇게 하면 자녀들의 기가 꺾입니다.
22 남의 종이 된 사람들이여, 모든 일에 있어서 이 땅의 주인들에게 순종하십시오. 주인이 보고 있거나 주인의 눈에 들려고 할 때에만 그렇게 할 것이 아니라, 주님을 두려워하여 진실한 마음으로 그렇게 하십시오. 23 무슨 일을 하든지 마음을 다해 하십시오. 사람을 위해서가 아니라 주님을 위해서 하듯이 하십시오. 24 여러분은 주님께 유산을 상으로 받을 것을 알고 있지 않습니까? 여러분은 주 그리스도를 섬기는 사람들입니다. 25 누구든지 잘못을 저지른 사람은 자기가 저지른 잘못에 대한 벌을 받을 것입니다. 거기에는 사람에 따라 차별을 두는 일이 없습니다.
Colossians 3
New International Version
Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,(A) set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.(B) 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.(C) 3 For you died,(D) and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[a] life,(E) appears,(F) then you also will appear with him in glory.(G)
5 Put to death,(H) therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:(I) sexual immorality,(J) impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,(K) which is idolatry.(L) 6 Because of these, the wrath of God(M) is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.(N) 8 But now you must also rid yourselves(O) of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,(P) and filthy language from your lips.(Q) 9 Do not lie to each other,(R) since you have taken off your old self(S) with its practices 10 and have put on the new self,(T) which is being renewed(U) in knowledge in the image of its Creator.(V) 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew,(W) circumcised or uncircumcised,(X) barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,(Y) but Christ is all,(Z) and is in all.
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves(AA) with compassion, kindness, humility,(AB) gentleness and patience.(AC) 13 Bear with each other(AD) and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.(AE) 14 And over all these virtues put on love,(AF) which binds them all together in perfect unity.(AG)
15 Let the peace of Christ(AH) rule in your hearts, since as members of one body(AI) you were called to peace.(AJ) And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ(AK) dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom(AL) through psalms,(AM) hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.(AN) 17 And whatever you do,(AO) whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks(AP) to God the Father through him.
Instructions for Christian Households(AQ)
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands,(AR) as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers,[c] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance(AS) from the Lord as a reward.(AT) It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.(AU)

Put On the New Self
3 (A)If then you have been raised with Christ, seek (B)the things that are above, where Christ is, (C)seated at the right hand of God. 2 (D)Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For (E)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ (F)who is your[a] life (G)appears, then you also will appear with him (H)in glory.
5 (I)Put to death therefore (J)what is earthly in you:[b] (K)sexual immorality, impurity, (L)passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (M)which is idolatry. 6 (N)On account of these the wrath of God is coming.[c] 7 (O)In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now (P)you must put them all away: (Q)anger, wrath, malice, (R)slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 (S)Do not lie to one another, seeing that (T)you have put off (U)the old self[d] with its practices 10 and (V)have put on (W)the new self, (X)which is being renewed in knowledge (Y)after the image of (Z)its creator. 11 (AA)Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,[e] free; but Christ is (AB)all, and in all.
12 (AC)Put on then, as (AD)God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, (AE)compassionate hearts, (AF)kindness, (AG)humility, meekness, and patience, 13 (AH)bearing with one another and, (AI)if one has a complaint against another, (AJ)forgiving each other; (AK)as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on (AL)love, which (AM)binds everything together in (AN)perfect harmony. 15 And let (AO)the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called (AP)in one body. And (AQ)be thankful. 16 Let (AR)the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, (AS)singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, (AT)with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And (AU)whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, (AV)giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Rules for Christian Households
18 (AW)Wives, submit to your husbands, as (AX)is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and (AY)do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents (AZ)in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 22 Bondservants, obey (BA)in everything those who are your earthly masters,[f] not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 (BB)Whatever you do, work heartily, (BC)as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord (BD)you will receive the inheritance as your reward. (BE)You are serving the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

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.
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.
