Kehillah in Colossae 3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 If therefore you were made to stand up alive in hitkhadshut with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, seek the things above, where Moshiach is, LI’MINI ("at my right hand" TEHILLIM 110:1), sitting at the right hand of Hashem.
2 Place your machshavot (thoughts) above (in Shomayim), not on the things of the Olam Hazeh.
3 For you died and the Chayyim of you has become nistar (hidden, 2:3) with Moshiach in Hashem.
4 When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach who is Chayyeinu (our Life) is made manifest in hisgalus (revelation), then also you with Him will be made manifest in hisgalus in kavod.
5 Therefore, put to death your evarim (members) in the Olam Hazeh: zenut (fornication), debauchery, sensuality, zimmah (licentiousness), and chamdanut (covetousness), which is avodah zarah (idolatry).
6 Because of such things as these the charon af Hashem habah (the coming burning wrath of Hashem) is on the way.
7 Such was your derech to fier zich (comport oneself), the derech resha’im formerly [TEHILLIM 1:6], when you were living in these things.
8 But now you also put away all these things: ka’as (anger), rage, kavvanah ra’ah (malice) chillul Hashem (blasphemy). Put away loshon hora from your mouth.
9 Do not speak sheker to one another, having disrobed from the Adam hakadmoni (old [unregenerated] humanity) with his ma’asim (works),
10 And instead enrobe with the Adam HaChadash, the one being renewed in da’as in accordance with the demut (1:15; BERESHIS 1:26-27; Pp 2:6) of the One having created him.
11 Here there is neither Yevani nor Yehudi, there is neither those who are or are not of the Bris Milah, there is no uncultured non-Greek speaker, there is no Scythian, eved, or Ben Chorin, but rather Moshiach is all in all.
12 Therefore, as Bechirim (Chosen ones) of Hashem, Kadoshim and ahuvim, enrobe yourselves in tender feelings of rachmei Shomayim (heavenly compassion, mercy), chesed (lovingkindness), anavah (humility), shiflut (lowliness), and savlanut (longsuffering),
13 Being soivel (bearing with) one another and extending selicha (forgiveness) to each other, if it should be that one is murmuring his complaint against another; just as Adoneinu extended selicha to you, so also you should extend selicha.
14 And to all these things add ahavah, which is the agudah of tamimim.
15 And let the shalom of Moshiach arbitrate in your levavot. You were called to this shalom in one NEVELAH [DEVARIM 21:23; cf geviyah, BERESHIS 47:18; cf basar, TEHILLIM 16:9-10; IYOV 19:25-27; YESHAYAH 53:11, guf (body)]. Let there be todah in your levavot.
16 Let the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach make its mishkan in you richly, in all chochmah and in all Moshiach’s pnimiyus haTorah (innermost Torah teaching) and words of chizzuk, ministering to one another with Tehillim, shirim, and neshamah niggunim miRuach Hakodesh (soul melodies from the Ruach Hakodesh) with gratitude, singing in your levavot to Hashem. [TEHILLIM 47:7]
17 And whatever thing you do, whether in dvar or in ma’aseh, do all things b’Shem Adoneinu Yehoshua, giving todot to Elohim HaAv through him [Moshiach].
18 Nashim (wives), make yourselves accountable to your ba’alim (husbands), as is proper in Adoneinu.
19 Ba’alim, have ahavah for your nashim and do not be bitter against them.
20 Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in all things, for this is well pleasing in Adoneinu.
21 Avot, do not provoke your yeladim, lest they be disheartened.
22 Avadim (servants), each of you obey in all things your adon according to the basar, not with eye service as pleasers of Bnei Adam, but with tom lev, with yirat Shomayim.
23 Whatever you do, be po’alim (workers) who with their neshamah work facing Adoneinu and not Bnei Adam,
24 Having da’as that from Adoneinu you will receive the sachar of the nachalah (alloted inheritance, 1:12, TEHILLIM 16:5-6). Serve Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
25 For the one doing wrong will be repaid for his wrong, ki ein masso panim im Hashem (for there is no respect of persons with G-d, no partiality).

3 Nu, hvor I ligesom Kristus er blevet oprejst til et nyt liv, skal I lægge vægt på de værdier, som kommer ovenfra, hvor Kristus sidder på tronen ved Guds højre hånd. 2 Læg vægt på den himmelske verdens værdier, ikke de jordiske. 3 Jeres gamle liv er forbi, og jeres kommende liv ligger gemt hos Gud, hvor Kristus er. 4 Når Kristus bliver åbenbaret i sin herlighed, vil jeres kommende liv blive synligt, og I vil opnå den samme herlighed, som Kristus har.
5 Alt det i jeres gamle liv, som hører denne verden til, skal I derfor overgive til døden: seksuel synd, urene tanker, skammelige lidenskaber og ondt begær, samt pengegriskhed, som er en form for afgudsdyrkelse. 6 Gud vil straffe de ulydige mennesker, der lever sådan. 7 I levede også engang i ulydighed mod Gud, 8 men nu skal I lægge al den slags fra jer. Undgå vredesudbrud, hidsighed, sjofelheder, samt ondskabsfulde og hånlige ord. 9 Lyv ikke for hinanden. I har jo aflagt den gamle livsstil med alle dens onde gerninger, 10 og I har iført jer det nye liv, som vokser og fornyes i takt med jeres forståelse af Gud, så I kommer til at ligne ham mere og mere. 11 Det har ikke noget at sige, om man er græker eller jøde, omskåret eller uomskåret, fremmed eller udlænding, slave eller fri. Nu er det Kristus, det drejer sig om. Han er grundlaget for alle ting, og han virker i og gennem os alle.
12 Som Guds udvalgte, elskede og hellige børn skal I iklæde jer det liv, han gav jer. Vær barmhjertige, venlige, ydmyge, imødekommende og tålmodige. 13 Bær over med hinanden og tilgiv hinanden, så snart der er noget at tilgive. Som Herren tilgav jer, skal I også tilgive hinanden. 14 Frem for alt skal jeres liv være præget af kærlighed, som er det bedste middel til at knytte os sammen.
15 Lad den fred, som kommer fra Kristus, kontrollere jeres tanker. I blev jo kaldet til at leve i fred som lemmer på samme legeme. Vær altid taknemmelige. 16 Lad Kristi ord få lov at fylde meget i jeres liv, så I kan undervise og vejlede hinanden med hans visdom. Syng lovsange, salmer og åndelige sange med taknemmelighed i hjertet til Gud. 17 Lad alt, hvad I siger og gør, være motiveret af lydighed mod Kristus og taknemmelighed til Gud, Faderen, for alt, hvad I har fået gennem Kristus.
De indbyrdes relationer i hjem og samfund(A)
18 En gift kvinde skal underordne sig sin mand, som det passer sig for dem, der hører Herren til. 19 Manden skal elske sin kone og må ikke blive bitter på hende.
20 Børn skal adlyde deres forældre i alle ting, for det glæder Herren. 21 Forældre må ikke være hårdhændede over for deres børn, så de mister modet.
22 I, som er slaver, skal i alle forhold være lydige mod jeres jordiske herrer og ikke kun arbejde, når der bliver holdt øje med jer. Gør jeres arbejde helhjertet og til ære for Herren. 23 Hvad I end gør, så læg hele jeres sjæl i det, som om det var Herren selv og ikke mennesker, I arbejdede for. 24 I ved jo, at I vil modtage jeres løn fra Herren engang. Kristus er jeres sande Herre. 25 Men de, der gør andre uret, skal få deres straf, og så er det lige meget, hvilken status de har haft.

The old life and the new life
3 God has raised you with Christ to a new life. So you should want more and more the things that belong to heaven. That is where Christ is now. He sits there at God's right side. 2 So think about the good things that are there in heaven above. Do not think only about things that are on the earth. 3 Remember that your old nature has died. God is keeping your new life safe with Christ. 4 You have that new life because you belong to Christ. One day, Christ will show himself clearly to everyone. Then everyone will see that you are with him. They will see that you also are great, like he is.
5 Your old nature likes to do bad things that belong to this earth. But your old nature is dead, so do not do these bad things any more. Do not have sex with someone that you are not married to. Do not think bad, disgusting thoughts. Do not want to have sex in a wrong way. Do not want to do any kinds of bad things. Do not want to have many things for yourselves. That shows that you worship those things as your idol. 6 God will certainly punish people who do those kinds of bad things.
7 At one time, you lived like that. You did those kinds of bad things. 8 But now you must refuse to do all kinds of things like that. Do not become angry with people or shout at them. Do not do anything or say anything that will hurt other people. Do not speak any bad or disgusting words. 9 Do not deceive each other with lies. Remember that you have taken off your old nature, like an old coat. As a result, you can stop doing all the bad things that you liked to do before.
10 Now you have received a new nature. It is God who made it for you so that you can become more and more like him. You will learn to know him better and better. 11 People have this new nature only because they belong to Christ. That is the important thing. Jews are not different from Gentiles. It does not matter whether someone has circumcised you or not. It does not matter which country you come from or how clever you are. It does not matter whether you are a slave or a free person. Christ is all that matters. He lives in every believer.
12 God has chosen you to be his own special people. You belong to him and he loves you very much. So this is how you should live: Be kind to other people and help them. Do not think that you are better than other people. Instead, respect them and be patient with them. 13 Do not become angry with each other. If you think that someone has done something wrong against you, forgive them. Remember that the Lord has forgiven you. So you should also forgive other people. 14 And you must also love each other. That is the most important thing that you should do. Love holds all these good things completely together.
15 Christ has given you peace in your minds. So let that peace rule your thoughts. God has chosen you to be like one body, as his people. So he wants you to live together in peace. Thank God for everything that he gives to you. 16 Let Christ's message always be in your thoughts, with all the good things that it brings. Use that message to teach and to warn each other. Be very wise as you do that. And also sing all kinds of spiritual songs to praise God. Sing psalms and Christian songs. As you sing, thank God from inside yourselves. 17 Show that you belong to the Lord Jesus with everything that you do and with everything that you say. Always thank God the Father in the way that you serve Jesus.
Do what is right, at home and at work
18 Wives, obey your husbands. That is the right thing to do, because you belong to the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives. Do not bring trouble to them.
20 Children, always obey your parents. That pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not cause your children to be upset. If you do, they might think that they never do anything that is good.
22 Slaves, always obey your human masters. Do not do good work only when they can see you. Some people only work to make other people like them. Instead, serve your masters well because you want to. That will show that you respect the Lord as your master. 23 Whatever things you are doing, do them well. Remember that you are serving the Lord. You are not only serving people. 24 You know that you will receive the good things that the Lord has promised to his people. He will give you what is right for you. The Lord Jesus Christ is the master that you serve. 25 Remember that God will punish anyone who does wrong things. He always judges people correctly, whoever they are.

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)
