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).

Colossesi 3
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
L'unione con il Cristo celeste, principio della vita nuova
3 Se dunque siete risorti con Cristo, cercate le cose di lassù, dove si trova Cristo assiso alla destra di Dio; 2 pensate alle cose di lassù, non a quelle della terra. 3 Voi infatti siete morti e la vostra vita è ormai nascosta con Cristo in Dio! 4 Quando si manifesterà Cristo, la vostra vita, allora anche voi sarete manifestati con lui nella gloria.
III. PARENESI
Precetti generali di vita cristiana
5 Mortificate dunque quella parte di voi che appartiene alla terra: fornicazione, impurità, passioni, desideri cattivi e quella avarizia insaziabile che è idolatria, 6 cose tutte che attirano l'ira di Dio su coloro che disobbediscono. 7 Anche voi un tempo eravate così, quando la vostra vita era immersa in questi vizi. 8 Ora invece deponete anche voi tutte queste cose: ira, passione, malizia, maldicenze e parole oscene dalla vostra bocca. 9 Non mentitevi gli uni gli altri. Vi siete infatti spogliati dell'uomo vecchio con le sue azioni 10 e avete rivestito il nuovo, che si rinnova, per una piena conoscenza, ad immagine del suo Creatore. 11 Qui non c'è più Greco o Giudeo, circoncisione o incirconcisione, barbaro o Scita, schiavo o libero, ma Cristo è tutto in tutti.
12 Rivestitevi dunque, come amati di Dio, santi e diletti, di sentimenti di misericordia, di bontà, di umiltà, di mansuetudine, di pazienza; 13 sopportandovi a vicenda e perdonandovi scambievolmente, se qualcuno abbia di che lamentarsi nei riguardi degli altri. Come il Signore vi ha perdonato, così fate anche voi. 14 Al di sopra di tutto poi vi sia la carità, che è il vincolo di perfezione. 15 E la pace di Cristo regni nei vostri cuori, perché ad essa siete stati chiamati in un solo corpo. E siate riconoscenti!
16 La parola di Cristo dimori tra voi abbondantemente; ammaestratevi e ammonitevi con ogni sapienza, cantando a Dio di cuore e con gratitudine salmi, inni e cantici spirituali. 17 E tutto quello che fate in parole ed opere, tutto si compia nel nome del Signore Gesù, rendendo per mezzo di lui grazie a Dio Padre.
Precetti particolari di morale domestica
18 Voi, mogli, state sottomesse ai mariti, come si conviene nel Signore. 19 Voi, mariti, amate le vostre mogli e non inaspritevi con esse. 20 Voi, figli, obbedite ai genitori in tutto; ciò è gradito al Signore. 21 Voi, padri, non esasperate i vostri figli, perché non si scoraggino. 22 Voi, servi, siate docili in tutto con i vostri padroni terreni; non servendo solo quando vi vedono, come si fa per piacere agli uomini, ma con cuore semplice e nel timore del Signore. 23 Qualunque cosa facciate, fatela di cuore come per il Signore e non per gli uomini, 24 sapendo che come ricompensa riceverete dal Signore l'eredità. Servite a Cristo Signore. 25 Chi commette ingiustizia infatti subirà le conseguenze del torto commesso, e non v'è parzialità per nessuno.
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)

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.
