하늘 나라 일만 생각하라

그러므로 여러분이 그리스도와 함께 다시 살리심을 받았으면 위에 있는 것을 찾으십시오. 거기는 그리스도께서 하나님의 오른편에 앉아 계시는 곳입니다.

여러분은 하늘에 있는 것을 생각하고 땅에 있는 것을 생각하지 마십시오.

이것은 여러분이 죽었고 여러분의 생명이 그리스도와 함께 하나님 안에 감추어져 있기 때문입니다.

우리의 생명이신 그리스도께서 나타나실 때에는 여러분도 그분과 함께 영광 가운데 나타나게 될 것입니다.

그러므로 여러분은 땅에 있는 육체의 욕망을 죽이십시오. 음란과 더러운 짓과 정욕과 악한 욕망과 지나친 욕심은 버려야 합니다. 지나친 욕심은 우상 숭배입니다.

이런 것 때문에 하나님의 노여우심을 사게 됩니다.

여러분도 전에 이런 욕망으로 살 때에는 그런 짓을 하였으나

이제는 분한 생각과 화내는 것과 악의와 비방과 입에서 나오는 더러운 말을 버리십시오.

여러분은 서로 거짓말을 하지 마십시오. 옛날의 여러분은 이미 죽었고

10 이제는 새사람이 되었습니다. 이 새사람은 여러분 안에 새 생명을 창조하신 하나님의 모습을 따라 참된 지식에 이르도록 새롭게 되어가고 있습니다.

11 여기에는 그리스 사람이나 유대인이나 할례를 받은 사람이나 할례를 받지 않은 사람이나 야만인이나 [a]미개인이나 종이나 자유인이나 차별이 없습니다. 그리스도는 모든 것 그 자체이며 모든 것 안에 계십니다.

12 여러분은 하나님이 택하신 사랑받는 거룩한 사람들입니다. 그러므로 불쌍히 여기는 마음과 친절과 겸손과 부드러움과 인내로

13 서로 참으며 언짢은 일이 있더라도 주님께서 여러분을 용서하신 것같이 서로 용서하십시오.

14 그리고 이 모든 것 위에 사랑을 더하십시오. 사랑은 그 모든 것을 완전히 하나로 묶어 주는 띠와 같은 것입니다.

15 그리스도의 평안이 여러분의 마음을 다스리게 하십시오. 평안을 위해 여러분은 한몸으로 부르심을 받았습니다. 그리고 여러분은 감사하는 사람이 되십시오.

16 그리스도의 말씀이 여러분 가운데 풍성하게 하여 모든 지혜로 서로 가르치고 권면하며 시와 찬미와 영적인 노래를 부르며 감사하는 마음으로 하나님을 찬양하십시오.

17 그리고 무엇을 하든지 말과 행동에 주 예수님의 이름으로 하고 그분을 통해 하나님 아버지께 감사하십시오.

아름다운 가정 생활

18 아내들은 남편에게 복종하십시오. 이것은 주님을 믿는 사람으로서 마땅히 해야 할 일입니다.

19 남편들은 아내를 사랑하고 괴롭히지 마십시오.

20 자녀들은 모든 일에 부모에게 순종하십시오. 이것이 주님을 기쁘시게 하는 일입니다.

21 부모들은 자녀들의 감정을 건드려 화나게 하지 마십시오. 그렇게 하면 그들이 낙심하게 될 것입니다.

22 종들은 모든 일에 자기 주인에게 순종하십시오. 단순히 사람을 기쁘게 하는 사람들처럼 눈가림만 하지 말고 주님을 두려워하며 성실한 마음으로 주인을 섬기십시오.

23 무슨 일을 하든지 사람에게 하듯 하지 말고 주님께 하듯 성실하게 하십시오.

24 여러분은 주님에게 [b]하늘의 축복을 상으로 받게 될 것을 기억하십시오. 여러분은 주님이신 그리스도를 섬기는 사람들입니다.

25 그리고 나쁜 짓을 하는 사람은 반드시 그 대가를 받을 것입니다. 하나님은 외형적인 것을 보고 사람을 차별하지 않으십니다.

  1. 3:11 헬 ‘스구디아인’
  2. 3:24 또는 ‘유업의 상’

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

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

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.

Living as Those Made Alive in Christ

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) Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.(C) For you died,(D) and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your[a] life,(E) appears,(F) then you also will appear with him in glory.(G)

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) Because of these, the wrath of God(M) is coming.[b] You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.(N) 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) 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)

Your New Life

You were raised from death with Christ. So live for what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Think only about what is up there, not what is here on earth. Your old self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God. Yes, Christ is now your life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.

So put everything evil out of your life: sexual sin, doing anything immoral, letting sinful thoughts control you, and wanting things that are wrong. And don’t keep wanting more and more for yourself, which is the same as worshiping a false god. God will show his anger against those who don’t obey him,[a] because they do these evil things. You also did these things in the past, when you lived like them.

But now put these things out of your life: anger, losing your temper, doing or saying things to hurt others, and saying shameful things. Don’t lie to each other. You have taken off those old clothes—the person you once were and the bad things you did then. 10 Now you are wearing a new life, a life that is new every day. You are growing in your understanding of the one who made you. You are becoming more and more like him. 11 In this new life it doesn’t matter if you are a Greek or a Jew, circumcised or not. It doesn’t matter if you speak a different language or even if you are a Scythian.[b] It doesn’t matter if you are a slave or free. Christ is all that matters, and he is in all of you.

Your New Life With Each Other

12 God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you. So your new life should be like this: Show mercy to others. Be kind, humble, gentle, and patient. 13 Don’t be angry with each other, but forgive each other. If you feel someone has wronged you, forgive them. Forgive others because the Lord forgave you. 14 Together with these things, the most important part of your new life is to love each other. Love is what holds everything together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking. It is for peace that you were chosen to be together in one body.[c] And always be thankful.

16 Let the teaching of Christ live inside you richly. Use all wisdom to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Everything you say and everything you do should be done for Jesus your Lord. And in all you do, give thanks to God the Father through Jesus.

Your New Life at Home

18 Wives, be willing to serve your husbands. This is the right thing to do in following the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives, and be gentle to them.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.

21 Fathers, don’t upset your children. If you are too hard to please, they might want to stop trying.

22 Servants, obey your masters in everything. Obey all the time, even when they can’t see you. Don’t just pretend to work hard so that they will treat you well. No, you must serve your masters honestly because you respect the Lord. 23 In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master. 24 Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, who will give you what he promised his people. Yes, you are serving Christ. He is your real Master.[d] 25 Remember that anyone who does wrong will be punished for that wrong. And the Lord treats everyone the same.
