Exortação à santidade e ao amor fraternal
3 Portanto, se já ressuscitastes com Cristo, buscai as coisas que são de cima, onde Cristo está assentado à destra de Deus. 2 Pensai nas coisas que são de cima e não nas que são da terra; 3 porque já estais mortos, e a vossa vida está escondida com Cristo em Deus. 4 Quando Cristo, que é a nossa vida, se manifestar, então, também vós vos manifestareis com ele em glória.
5 Mortificai, pois, os vossos membros que estão sobre a terra: a prostituição, a impureza, o apetite desordenado, a vil concupiscência e a avareza, que é idolatria; 6 pelas quais coisas vem a ira de Deus sobre os filhos da desobediência; 7 nas quais também, em outro tempo, andastes, quando vivíeis nelas. 8 Mas, agora, despojai-vos também de tudo: da ira, da cólera, da malícia, da maledicência, das palavras torpes da vossa boca. 9 Não mintais uns aos outros, pois que já vos despistes do velho homem com os seus feitos 10 e vos vestistes do novo, que se renova para o conhecimento, segundo a imagem daquele que o criou; 11 onde não há grego nem judeu, circuncisão nem incircuncisão, bárbaro, cita, servo ou livre; mas Cristo é tudo em todos.
12 Revesti-vos, pois, como eleitos de Deus, santos e amados, de entranhas de misericórdia, de benignidade, humildade, mansidão, longanimidade, 13 suportando-vos uns aos outros e perdoando-vos uns aos outros, se algum tiver queixa contra outro; assim como Cristo vos perdoou, assim fazei vós também. 14 E, sobre tudo isto, revesti-vos de amor, que é o vínculo da perfeição. 15 E a paz de Deus, para a qual também fostes chamados em um corpo, domine em vossos corações; e sede agradecidos. 16 A palavra de Cristo habite em vós abundantemente, em toda a sabedoria, ensinando-vos e admoestando-vos uns aos outros, com salmos, hinos e cânticos espirituais; cantando ao Senhor com graça em vosso coração. 17 E, quanto fizerdes por palavras ou por obras, fazei tudo em nome do Senhor Jesus, dando por ele graças a Deus Pai.
Os deveres domésticos
18 Vós, mulheres, estai sujeitas a vosso próprio marido, como convém no Senhor. 19 Vós, maridos, amai a vossa mulher e não vos irriteis contra ela. 20 Vós, filhos, obedecei em tudo a vossos pais, porque isto é agradável ao Senhor. 21 Vós, pais, não irriteis a vossos filhos, para que não percam o ânimo. 22 Vós, servos, obedecei em tudo a vosso senhor segundo a carne, não servindo só na aparência, como para agradar aos homens, mas em simplicidade de coração, temendo a Deus. 23 E, tudo quanto fizerdes, fazei-o de todo o coração, como ao Senhor e não aos homens, 24 sabendo que recebereis do Senhor o galardão da herança, porque a Cristo, o Senhor, servis. 25 Mas quem fizer agravo receberá o agravo que fizer; pois não há acepção de pessoas.

Traducción en lenguaje actual
3 1-2 Dios les dio nueva vida, pues los resucitó juntamente con Cristo. Por eso, dediquen toda su vida a hacer lo que a Dios le agrada. Piensen en las cosas del cielo, donde Cristo gobierna a la derecha de Dios. No piensen en las cosas de este mundo. 3-4 Pues ustedes ya han muerto para el mundo, y ahora, por medio de Cristo, Dios les ha dado la vida verdadera. Cuando Cristo venga, también ustedes estarán con él y compartirán su gloriosa presencia.
Cómo deben vivir ahora
5 Por eso, den muerte a todos sus malos deseos; no tengan relaciones sexuales prohibidas, no sean indecentes, dominen sus malos deseos, y no busquen amontonar dinero, pues es lo mismo que adorar a dioses falsos. 6 Todo esto hace que Dios se enoje con los desobedientes. 7 Ustedes mismos se comportaban así antes de conocer a Cristo. 8 Pero ahora tienen que dejar también todo esto: no se enojen, no busquen hacer el mal a otros, no ofendan a Dios ni insulten a sus semejantes, 9 ni se mientan unos a otros, porque ustedes ya han dejado la vida de pecado 10 y ahora viven de manera diferente.
En realidad, ustedes son personas nuevas, que cada vez se parecen más a Dios, su creador, y cada vez lo conocen mejor. 11 Por eso, ya no importa si alguien es judío o no lo es, o si está circuncidado o no lo está. Tampoco tiene importancia si pertenece a un pueblo muy desarrollado o poco desarrollado, o si es esclavo o libre. Lo que importa es que Cristo lo es todo, y está en todos.
12 Dios los ama mucho a ustedes, y los ha elegido para que formen parte de su pueblo. Por eso, vivan como se espera de ustedes: amen a los demás, sean buenos, humildes, amables y pacientes. 13 Sean tolerantes los unos con los otros, y si alguien tiene alguna queja contra otro, perdónense, así como el Señor los ha perdonado a ustedes. 14 Y sobre todo, ámense unos a otros, porque el amor es el mejor lazo de unión. 15 Ustedes fueron llamados a formar un solo cuerpo, el cuerpo de Cristo. Dejen que la paz de Cristo gobierne sus corazones, y sean agradecidos.
16 No se olviden nunca de las maravillosas enseñanzas de Cristo. Y cuando se enseñen unos a otros, o se corrijan, háganlo de manera inteligente. Canten salmos, himnos y cantos espirituales, dando gracias a Dios de todo corazón. 17 Y todo lo que hagan o digan, háganlo como verdaderos seguidores del Señor Jesucristo, y denle gracias a Dios el Padre por lo que Cristo ha hecho por ustedes.
La familia cristiana
18 Ustedes, las esposas, deben sujetarse a sus esposos, pues es lo que se espera de ustedes como cristianas. 19 Y ustedes los esposos deben amar a sus esposas y no ser groseros ni duros con ellas.
20 Ustedes, los hijos, deben obedecer a sus padres en todo, pues eso agrada al Señor. 21 Y ustedes, los padres, no deben hacer enojar a sus hijos, para que no se desanimen.
22 Ustedes, esclavos y esclavas, deben obedecer en todo a sus amos aquí en la tierra. No lo hagan para quedar bien con ellos, y sólo cuando los estén mirando. Más bien, háganlo con sinceridad y por respeto al Señor. 23 Todo lo que hagan, háganlo de buena gana, como si estuvieran sirviendo al Señor Jesucristo y no a la gente. 24 Porque ya saben que Dios les dará, en recompensa, parte de la herencia que ha prometido a su pueblo. Recuerden que sirven a Cristo, que es su verdadero dueño. 25 En cambio, todo el que haga lo malo será castigado, según lo que haya hecho, porque Dios no tiene favoritos.

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)

Your New Life
3 You were raised from death with Christ. So live for what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Think only about what is up there, not what is here on earth. 3 Your old self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God. 4 Yes, Christ is now your life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.
5 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. 6 God will show his anger against those who don’t obey him,[a] because they do these evil things. 7 You also did these things in the past, when you lived like them.
8 But now put these things out of your life: anger, losing your temper, doing or saying things to hurt others, and saying shameful things. 9 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.
