Colosenses 3
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Normas para una vida santa
3 Ya que habéis resucitado con Cristo, buscad las cosas de arriba, donde está Cristo sentado a la derecha de Dios. 2 Concentrad vuestra atención en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra, 3 pues vosotros habéis muerto y vuestra vida está escondida con Cristo en Dios. 4 Cuando Cristo, que es vuestra vida,[a] se manifieste, entonces también vosotros seréis manifestados con él en gloria.
5 Por tanto, haced morir todo lo que es propio de la naturaleza terrenal: inmoralidad sexual, impureza, bajas pasiones, malos deseos y avaricia, la cual es idolatría. 6 Por estas cosas viene el castigo de Dios.[b] 7 Vosotros las practicasteis en otro tiempo, cuando vivíais en ellas. 8 Pero ahora abandonad también todo esto: enojo, ira, malicia, calumnia y lenguaje obsceno. 9 Dejad de mentiros unos a otros, ahora que os habéis quitado el ropaje de la vieja naturaleza con sus vicios, 10 y os habéis puesto el de la nueva naturaleza, que se va renovando en conocimiento a imagen de su creador. 11 En esta nueva naturaleza no hay griego ni judío, circunciso ni incircunciso, culto ni inculto,[c] esclavo ni libre, sino que Cristo es todo y está en todos.
12 Por lo tanto, como escogidos de Dios, santos y amados, revestíos de afecto entrañable y de bondad, humildad, amabilidad y paciencia, 13 de modo que os toleréis unos a otros y os perdonéis si alguno tiene queja contra otro. Así como el Señor os perdonó, perdonad también vosotros. 14 Por encima de todo, vestíos de amor, que es el vínculo perfecto.
15 Que gobierne en vuestros corazones la paz de Cristo, a la cual fuisteis llamados en un solo cuerpo. Y sed agradecidos. 16 Que habite en vosotros la palabra de Cristo con toda su riqueza: instruíos y aconsejaos unos a otros con toda sabiduría; cantad salmos, himnos y canciones espirituales a Dios, con gratitud de corazón. 17 Y todo lo que hagáis, de palabra o de obra, hacedlo en el nombre del Señor Jesús, dando gracias a Dios el Padre por medio de él.
Normas para la familia cristiana
18 Esposas, someteos a vuestros esposos, como conviene en el Señor.
19 Esposos, amad a vuestras esposas y no seáis duros con ellas.
20 Hijos, obedeced a vuestros padres en todo, porque esto agrada al Señor.
21 Padres, no exasperéis a vuestros hijos, no sea que se desanimen.
22 Esclavos, obedeced en todo a vuestros amos terrenales, no solo cuando ellos os estén mirando, como si vosotros quisierais ganaros el favor humano, sino con integridad de corazón y por respeto al Señor. 23 Hagáis lo que hagáis, trabajad de buena gana, como para el Señor y no como para nadie en este mundo, 24 conscientes de que el Señor os recompensará con la herencia. Vosotros servís a Cristo el Señor. 25 El que hace el mal pagará por su propia maldad, y en esto no hay favoritismos.
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
Wycliffe Bible
3 Therefore if ye have risen together with Christ, seek ye those things that be above, where Christ is sitting on the right half of God.
2 Savour ye those things, that be above [Savour, or understand, ye those things that be above], not those that be on the earth.
3 For ye be dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 For when Christ shall appear, your life, then also ye shall appear with him in glory.
5 Therefore slay ye your members [Therefore slay your members], which be on the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lechery, evil covetousness, and avarice, which is service of maumets [which is service of simulacra];
6 for which things the wrath of God came on the sons of unbelief;
7 in which also ye walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now put ye away all things, wrath, indignation, malice, blasphemy and foul words of your mouth. [But now and ye put away all things, wrath, indignation, malice, blasphemy, foul word of your mouth.]
9 Do not ye lie together; despoil ye you from the old man with his deeds, [Do not ye lie, or gab, together, spoiling the old man with his deeds,]
10 and clothe ye the new man [and clothing the new man], that is made new again into the knowing of God, after the image of him that made him;
11 where is not male and female, heathen man and Jew, circumcision and prepuce, barbarous and Scythian, bondman and free, but all things and in all things Christ.
12 Therefore ye, as the chosen of God, holy and loved, clothe you with the entrails of mercy, benignity, and meekness, temperance, patience; [Therefore clothe ye you, as the chosen of God, holy, and loved, with the entrails of mercy, benignity, and meekness, temperance, patience;]
13 and support ye each one (the) other, and forgive to yourselves, if any man against any hath a quarrel; as the Lord forgave to you, so also ye. [supporting, or bearing up together, and forgiving to yourselves, if any man against any hath quarrel, or plaint, as and the Lord Christ forgave to you, so and ye.]
14 And upon all these things have ye charity, that is the bond of perfectness [that is the bond of perfection].
15 And the peace of Christ enjoy in your hearts, in which ye be called in one body, and be ye kind.
16 The word of Christ dwell in you plenteously, in all wisdom; and teach and admonish yourselves in psalms [teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms], and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord.
17 All thing, whatever thing ye do, in word or in deed, all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, doing thankings to God and to the Father by him. [All thing, whatever ye do, in word or deed, all things in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, doing thankings to God the Father by him.]
18 Women, be ye subject to your husbands, as it behooveth in the Lord.
19 Men, love ye your wives, and do not ye be bitter to them.
20 Sons, obey ye to your father and mother by all things; for this is well pleasing in the Lord.[a]
21 Fathers, do not ye provoke your sons to indignation, that they be not made feeble-hearted.
22 Servants, obey ye by all things to fleshly lords, not serving at the eye [not serving at eye], as pleasing to men, but in simpleness of heart, dreading the Lord [dreading the Lord God].
23 Whatever ye do, work ye of will, as to the Lord and not to men;
24 witting that of the Lord ye shall take yielding of heritage [witting that of the Lord ye shall take reward of heritage]. Serve ye to the Lord Christ.
25 For he that doeth injury, shall receive that that he did evil; and acception of persons is not with God.[b]
