Colossesi 3
Nuova Riveduta 2006
La vita nuova in Cristo
3 (A)Se dunque siete stati risuscitati con Cristo, cercate le cose di lassù, dove Cristo è seduto alla destra di Dio. 2 Aspirate alle cose di lassù, non a quelle che sono sulla terra; 3 poiché voi moriste e la vostra vita è nascosta con Cristo in Dio. 4 Quando Cristo, la vita vostra[a], sarà manifestato, allora anche voi sarete con lui manifestati in gloria.
5 (B)Fate dunque morire ciò che in voi è terreno: fornicazione, impurità, passioni, desideri cattivi e la cupidigia che è idolatria. 6 Per queste cose viene l’ira di Dio {sugli uomini ribelli}[b]. 7 E così camminaste un tempo anche voi, quando vivevate in esse. 8 Ora invece deponete anche voi tutte queste cose: ira, collera, malignità, calunnia; e non vi escano di bocca parole oscene.
9 Non mentite gli uni agli altri, perché vi siete spogliati dell’uomo vecchio con le sue opere 10 e vi siete rivestiti del nuovo, che si va rinnovando in conoscenza a immagine di colui che l’ha creato. 11 Qui non c’è Greco o Giudeo, circoncisione o incirconcisione, barbaro, Scita, schiavo, libero, ma Cristo è tutto e in tutti.
12 Vestitevi, dunque, come eletti di Dio, santi e amati, di sentimenti di misericordia, di benevolenza, di umiltà, di mansuetudine, di pazienza. 13 Sopportatevi gli uni gli altri e perdonatevi a vicenda, se uno ha di che dolersi di un altro. Come il Signore vi ha[c] perdonati, così fate anche voi. 14 Al di sopra di tutte queste cose vestitevi dell’amore che è il vincolo della perfezione. 15 E la pace di Cristo[d], alla quale siete stati chiamati per essere un solo corpo, regni nei vostri cuori; e siate riconoscenti.
16 La parola di Cristo abiti in voi abbondantemente, ammaestrandovi ed esortandovi gli uni gli altri con ogni sapienza, cantando di cuore a Dio[e], sotto l’impulso della grazia, salmi, inni e cantici spirituali. 17 Qualunque cosa facciate, in parole o in opere, fate ogni cosa nel nome del Signore Gesù, ringraziando Dio Padre per mezzo di lui.
Doveri cristiani nella vita nuova
18 (C)Mogli, siate sottomesse ai vostri [propri] mariti, come si conviene nel Signore.
19 Mariti, amate le vostre mogli, e non v’inasprite contro di loro.
20 Figli, ubbidite ai vostri genitori in ogni cosa, poiché questo è gradito al Signore.
21 Padri, non irritate i vostri figli, affinché non si scoraggino.
22 Servi, ubbidite in ogni cosa ai vostri padroni secondo la carne; non servendoli soltanto quando vi vedono, come per piacere agli uomini, ma con semplicità di cuore, temendo il Signore[f]. 23 Qualunque cosa facciate, fatela di buon animo, come per il Signore e non per gli uomini, 24 sapendo che dal Signore riceverete per ricompensa l’eredità. Servite Cristo, il Signore![g] 25 Infatti chi agisce ingiustamente riceverà la retribuzione del torto che avrà fatto, senza che vi siano favoritismi.

歌 羅 西 書 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
你们的新生
3 所以,既然你们与基督一起复活了,就应该努力追求天堂的事情,在那里基督坐在上帝的右侧。 2 要专心致力于天堂里的事情,而不是地上的事情。 3 因为你们旧的自我已经死去,新的生命和基督一起隐藏在上帝之中。 4 当基督,我们的生命再次出现时,你们也会和他一起在荣耀里出现。
5 所以,要把你们之中一切属于尘世的东西都置于死地:不道德的性行为、不纯、淫欲、邪念和贪婪,贪婪是崇拜偶像的一种形式。 6 因为这些,上帝的愤怒就要来临了。 [a] 7 在你们过去的罪恶生活中,你们也做过这些事情。
8 但现在你们必须摒弃所有这些事情:恼怒、愤恨、恶意、诽谤和无耻的语言。 9 不要尔虞我诈,因为你们已经抛弃了旧我以及它的行为, 10 换上了新我。新我要在创世主的形象中不断地更新,以便充分地认识他。 11 因此,犹太人与非犹太人之间、受割礼的和未受割礼的人之间、外邦人或西古提人 [b]、奴隶与自由人之间都没有任何区别。基督是一切,并在所有的信仰之中。
你们彼此相处的新生活
12 上帝挑选了你们,使你们成为他所爱的圣民,因此,你们要怜悯、善良、谦卑、温和与耐心, 13 要相互容忍,彼此有纷争时,要无代价地宽恕对方,就像主宽恕你们那样。 14 除此之外,你们还要有爱心,爱把你们完美地结合在一起。 15 愿来自基督的和平支配你们的内心,为了这和平你们做为一体而蒙召,你们要常常感恩。 16 基督的信息应该丰盛地活在你们中间,要用所有的智慧互相开导与指教。你们内心要怀着感恩之情,用圣歌、赞美歌、属灵之歌来颂扬上帝。 17 不论你们说什么、做什么,都要以主耶稣的名义,并通过他向父上帝表达感激之情。
你们在家的新生活
18 妻子要服从丈夫,这是主的信徒的本份。
19 丈夫要爱妻子,不要虐待她们。
20 子女事事都要服从父母,主的信徒的这种行为令上帝喜悦。
21 父母不要为难子女,免得他们灰心丧气。
22 仆人事事要服从尘世的主人,你们这么做,不仅是给主人看,想讨他们的喜欢,而且是发自内心的真诚,因为你们敬畏上帝。 23 不论做什么,都要全心全意,就像在为主工作,而不是为人工作。 24 记住,主会赐给你们天堂的财产做为奖赏。侍奉基督吧,他是你们真正的主。 25 做错事的人最终要为他的错误受到惩罚。主一视同仁地对待你们。

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.
Colossians 3
New King James Version
Not Carnality but Christ
3 If then you were (A)raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, (B)where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the (C)earth. 3 (D)For you died, (E)and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 (F)When Christ who is (G)our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in (H)glory.
5 (I)Therefore put to death (J)your members which are on the earth: (K)fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (L)which is idolatry. 6 (M)Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon (N)the sons of disobedience, 7 (O)in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
8 (P)But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who (Q)is renewed in knowledge (R)according to the image of Him who (S)created him, 11 where there is neither (T)Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, (U)but Christ is all and in all.
Character of the New Man
12 Therefore, (V)as the elect of God, holy and beloved, (W)put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 (X)bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 (Y)But above all these things (Z)put on love, which is the (AA)bond of perfection. 15 And let (AB)the peace of God rule in your hearts, (AC)to which also you were called (AD)in one body; and (AE)be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another (AF)in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And (AG)whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
The Christian Home(AH)
18 (AI)Wives, submit to your own husbands, (AJ)as is fitting in the Lord.
19 (AK)Husbands, love your wives and do not be (AL)bitter toward them.
20 (AM)Children, obey your parents (AN)in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
21 (AO)Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
22 (AP)Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 (AQ)And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 (AR)knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; (AS)for[a] you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and (AT)there is no partiality.
