Colosenses 3
La Biblia de las Américas
La meta del cristiano
3 Si habéis, pues, resucitado con Cristo(A), buscad las cosas de arriba, donde está Cristo sentado a la diestra de Dios(B). 2 Poned la mira[a] en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra(C). 3 Porque habéis muerto, y vuestra vida está escondida con Cristo(D) en Dios. 4 Cuando Cristo, nuestra[b] vida(E), sea manifestado, entonces vosotros también seréis manifestados con Él en gloria(F).
La vida vieja y la vida nueva
5 Por tanto, considerad los miembros de vuestro cuerpo terrenal(G) como muertos[c] a la fornicación, la impureza, las pasiones, los malos deseos y la avaricia, que es idolatría(H). 6 Pues la ira de Dios vendrá sobre los hijos de desobediencia[d] por causa de estas cosas(I), 7 en las cuales vosotros también anduvisteis(J) en otro tiempo cuando vivíais en ellas. 8 Pero ahora desechad también vosotros todas estas cosas(K): ira, enojo, malicia, maledicencia(L), lenguaje soez de vuestra boca(M). 9 No mintáis[e](N) los unos a los otros, puesto que habéis desechado al viejo hombre(O) con sus malos hábitos, 10 y os habéis vestido del nuevo hombre, el cual se va renovando(P) hacia un verdadero conocimiento, conforme a la imagen(Q) de aquel que lo creó(R); 11 una renovación en la cual no hay distinción entre griego y judío(S), circunciso e incircunciso[f](T), bárbaro[g](U), escita[h], esclavo o libre(V), sino que Cristo es todo, y en todos(W).
12 Entonces, como escogidos(X) de Dios, santos y amados, revestíos(Y) de tierna compasión, bondad(Z), humildad, mansedumbre y paciencia[i](AA); 13 soportándoos unos a otros(AB) y perdonándoos unos a otros, si alguno tiene queja contra otro; como Cristo os perdonó, así también hacedlo vosotros(AC). 14 Y sobre todas estas cosas, vestíos de amor, que es el vínculo[j](AD) de la unidad[k](AE). 15 Y que la paz de Cristo[l] reine[m] en vuestros corazones(AF), a la cual en verdad[n] fuisteis llamados en un solo cuerpo(AG); y sed agradecidos. 16 Que la palabra de Cristo[o](AH) habite en abundancia en vosotros, con toda sabiduría enseñándoos y amonestándoos unos a otros(AI) con salmos, himnos y canciones espirituales(AJ), cantando(AK) a Dios con acción de gracias[p] en vuestros corazones. 17 Y todo lo que hacéis, de palabra o de hecho, hacedlo todo en el nombre del Señor Jesús(AL), dando gracias por medio de Él a Dios el Padre(AM).
Relaciones sociales del cristiano
18 (AN)Mujeres, estad sujetas a vuestros maridos(AO), como conviene en el Señor. 19 Maridos, amad a vuestras[q] mujeres(AP) y no seáis ásperos[r] con ellas. 20 Hijos, sed obedientes a vuestros padres en todo, porque esto es agradable al[s] Señor(AQ). 21 Padres, no exasperéis[t] a vuestros hijos(AR), para que no se desalienten. 22 Siervos[u], obedeced en todo a vuestros[v] amos en la tierra[w](AS), no para ser vistos[x], como los que quieren agradar a los hombres, sino con sinceridad de corazón, temiendo al Señor(AT). 23 Y todo lo que hagáis, hacedlo de corazón, como para el Señor y no para los hombres(AU), 24 sabiendo que del Señor recibiréis la recompensa(AV) de la herencia(AW). Es a Cristo el Señor a quien servís(AX). 25 Porque el que procede con injusticia sufrirá las consecuencias del mal que ha cometido(AY), y eso, sin acepción de personas(AZ).

Colossians 3
Amplified Bible
Put On the New Self
3 Therefore if you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, sharing in His resurrection from the dead], keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.(A) 2 Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. 3 For you died [to this world], and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, [a]appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
5 So put to death and deprive of power the evil longings of your earthly body [with its sensual, self-centered instincts] immorality, impurity, sinful passion, evil desire, and greed, which is [a kind of] idolatry [because it replaces your devotion to God]. 6 Because of these [sinful] things the [divine] wrath of God is coming [b]on the sons of disobedience [those who fail to listen and who routinely and obstinately disregard God’s precepts], 7 and in these [sinful things] you also once walked, when you were habitually living in them [without the knowledge of Christ]. 8 But now rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene (abusive, filthy, vulgar) language from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its evil practices, 10 and have put on the new [spiritual] self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self—(B) 11 a renewal in which there is no [distinction between] Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [nor between nations whether] [c]barbarian or [d]Scythian, [nor in status whether] slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all [so believers are equal in Christ, without distinction].
12 So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper]; 13 bearing graciously with one another, and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so should you forgive. 14 Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in [unselfish] love, which is the perfect bond of unity [for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others]. 15 Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. 16 Let the [spoken] word of Christ have its home within you [dwelling in your heart and mind—permeating every aspect of your being] as you teach [spiritual things] and admonish and train one another with all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Family Relations
18 Wives, be [e]subject to your husbands [out of respect for their position as protector, and their accountability to God], as is proper and [f]fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives [with an affectionate, sympathetic, selfless love that always seeks the best for them] and do not be embittered or resentful toward them [because of the responsibilities of marriage]. 20 Children, obey your parents [as God’s representatives] in all things, for this [attitude of respect and obedience] is well-pleasing [g]to the Lord [and will bring you God’s promised blessings]. 21 Fathers, do not provoke or irritate or exasperate your children [with demands that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by favoritism or indifference; treat them tenderly with lovingkindness], so they will not lose heart and become discouraged or unmotivated [with their spirits broken].
22 Servants, in everything obey those who are your masters on earth, not only with external service, as those who merely please people, but with sincerity of heart because of your fear of the Lord. 23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve. 25 For he who does wrong will be punished for his wrongdoing, and [with God] there is no partiality [no special treatment based on a person’s position in life].

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
3 Binuhay kayong muli kasama ni Cristo, kaya sikapin ninyong makamtan ang mga bagay na nasa langit kung saan naroon si Cristo na nakaupo sa kanan ng Dios. 2 Doon ninyo ituon ang isip nʼyo, at hindi sa mga makamundong bagay. 3 Sapagkat namatay na kayo sa dati nʼyong buhay, at ang buhay ninyo ngayon ay nakatago sa Dios kasama ni Cristo. 4 Si Cristo ang buhay ninyo, at kapag dumating na ang panahon na nahayag na siya, mahahayag din kayo at makikibahagi sa kapangyarihan niya at karangalan.
Ang Dati at ang Bagong Buhay
5 Kaya patayin nʼyo na ang anumang kamunduhang nasa inyo: ang sekswal na imoralidad, kalaswaan, pagnanasa, at kasakiman na katumbas na rin ng pagsamba sa mga dios-diosan. 6 Parurusahan ng Dios ang mga taong gumagawa ng mga bagay na iyon. 7 Ganoon din ang pamumuhay ninyo noon. 8 Pero ngayon, dapat na ninyong itakwil ang lahat ng ito: galit, poot, sama ng loob, paninira sa kapwa, at mga bastos na pananalita. 9 Huwag kayong magsinungaling sa isaʼt isa, dahil hinubad nʼyo na ang dati ninyong pagkatao at masasamang gawain, 10 at isinuot na ninyo ang bagong pagkatao. Ang pagkataong itoʼy patuloy na binabago ng Dios na lumikha nito, para maging katulad niya tayo at para makilala natin siya nang lubusan. 11 Sa bagong buhay na ito, wala nang ipinagkaiba ang Judio sa hindi Judio, ang tuli sa hindi tuli, ang naturuan sa hindi naturuan, at ang alipin sa malaya dahil si Cristo na ang lahat-lahat, at siyaʼy nasa ating lahat.
12 Kaya bilang mga banal at minamahal na mga pinili ng Dios, dapat kayong maging mapagmalasakit, maganda ang kalooban, mapagpakumbaba, mabait at mapagtiis. 13 Magpasensiyahan kayo sa isaʼt isa at magpatawaran kayo kung may hinanakit kayo kaninuman, dahil pinatawad din kayo ng Panginoon. 14 At higit sa lahat, magmahalan kayo, dahil ito ang magdudulot ng tunay na pagkakaisa. 15 Paghariin ninyo sa mga puso nʼyo ang kapayapaan ni Cristo. Sapagkat bilang mga bahagi ng iisang katawan, tinawag kayo ng Dios upang mamuhay nang mapayapa. Dapat din kayong maging mapagpasalamat.
16 Itanim ninyong mabuti sa mga puso nʼyo ang mga aral ni Cristo. Paalalahanan at turuan nʼyo ang isaʼt isa ayon sa karunungang kaloob ng Dios. Umawit kayo ng mga salmo, himno, at iba pang mga awiting espiritwal na may pasasalamat sa Dios sa mga puso ninyo. 17 At anuman ang ginagawa nʼyo, sa salita man o sa gawa, gawin nʼyo ang lahat bilang mananampalataya sa Panginoong Jesus,[a] at magpasalamat kayo sa Dios Ama sa pamamagitan niya.
Ang Mabuting Relasyon sa Kapwa
18 Mga babae, magpasakop kayo sa asawa nʼyo, dahil iyan ang nararapat gawin bilang mananampalataya sa Panginoon.
19 Mga lalaki, mahalin ninyo ang inyong asawa at huwag ninyo silang pagmamalupitan.
20 Mga anak, sundin ninyo ang mga magulang nʼyo sa lahat ng bagay, dahil kalugod-lugod ito sa Panginoon.
21 Mga magulang,[b] huwag kayong gumawa ng anumang bagay na ikasasama ng loob ng mga anak nʼyo para hindi sila panghinaan ng loob.
22 Mga alipin, sundin nʼyo sa lahat ng bagay ang mga amo nʼyo rito sa lupa. Hindi lang dahil nakatingin sila at nais ninyong malugod sila sa inyo, kundi gawin ninyo ito nang buong puso at may takot sa Panginoon. 23 Anuman ang gawin nʼyo, gawin nʼyo ito nang buong katapatan na parang ang Panginoon ang pinaglilingkuran nʼyo at hindi ang tao. 24 Alam naman ninyong may gantimpala kayong matatanggap sa Panginoon, dahil si Cristo na Panginoon natin ang siyang pinaglilingkuran ninyo. 25 Ang sinumang gumagawa ng masama ay parurusahan ayon sa kasalanan niya, dahil ang Dios ay walang pinapaboran.
