Colossians 3
English Standard Version
Put On the New Self
3 (A)If then you have been raised with Christ, seek (B)the things that are above, where Christ is, (C)seated at the right hand of God. 2 (D)Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For (E)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ (F)who is your[a] life (G)appears, then you also will appear with him (H)in glory.
5 (I)Put to death therefore (J)what is earthly in you:[b] (K)sexual immorality, impurity, (L)passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (M)which is idolatry. 6 (N)On account of these the wrath of God is coming.[c] 7 (O)In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now (P)you must put them all away: (Q)anger, wrath, malice, (R)slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 (S)Do not lie to one another, seeing that (T)you have put off (U)the old self[d] with its practices 10 and (V)have put on (W)the new self, (X)which is being renewed in knowledge (Y)after the image of (Z)its creator. 11 (AA)Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,[e] free; but Christ is (AB)all, and in all.
12 (AC)Put on then, as (AD)God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, (AE)compassionate hearts, (AF)kindness, (AG)humility, meekness, and patience, 13 (AH)bearing with one another and, (AI)if one has a complaint against another, (AJ)forgiving each other; (AK)as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on (AL)love, which (AM)binds everything together in (AN)perfect harmony. 15 And let (AO)the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called (AP)in one body. And (AQ)be thankful. 16 Let (AR)the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, (AS)singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, (AT)with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And (AU)whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, (AV)giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Rules for Christian Households
18 (AW)Wives, submit to your husbands, as (AX)is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and (AY)do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents (AZ)in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 22 Bondservants, obey (BA)in everything those who are your earthly masters,[f] not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 (BB)Whatever you do, work heartily, (BC)as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord (BD)you will receive the inheritance as your reward. (BE)You are serving the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

Ang Salita ng Diyos
Tuntunin Para sa Matuwid na Pamumuhay
3 Yamang kayo nga ay muling binuhay na kasama ni Cristo, hanapin ninyo ang mga bagay na nasa itaas, kung saan si Cristo ay nakaupo sakanan ng Diyos.
2 Ituon ninyo ang inyong pag-iisip sa mga bagay na nasaitaas at hindi sa mga bagay na nasa lupa. 3 Ito ay sapagkat namatay nakayo at ang buhay ninyo ay natatagong kasama ni Cristo sa Diyos. 4 Kapag si Cristo na ating buhay ay mahahayag, kasama rin naman niya kayong mahahayag sa kaluwalhatian.
5 Patayin nga ninyo ang inyong mga bahagi na maka-lupa. Ito ay ang pakikiapid, karumihan, pita ng laman, masasamang nasa at kasakiman na siyang pagsamba sa diyos-diyosan. 6 Dahil sa mga bagay na ito, ang poot ng Diyos ay dumarating sa mga anak na masuwayin. 7 Ang mga ito ay inyo rin namang nilakaran noong una nang kayo ay namumuhay pa sa gani-tong mga bagay. 8 Ngunit ngayon ay hubarin na ninyo ang lahat ng ito: galit, poot, masamang hangarin, pamumusong, malalaswang salita na mula sa inyong bibig. 9 Huwag na kayong magsinungaling sa isa’t isa, yamang hinubad na ninyo nang lubusan ang dating pagkatao kasama ang mga masasamang gawa nito. 10 Isuot naman ninyo ang bagong pagkatao na binago patungo sa kaalaman ayon sa wangis ng lumalang sa kaniya. 11 Doon ay wala ng pagkakaiba ang mga Griyego o mga Judio, ang mga nasa pagtutuli o wala sa pagtutuli, mga hindi Griyego, mga Scita, mga alipin o malaya. Si Cristo ang lahat at nasa lahat.
12 Kaya nga, bilang mga hinirang ng Diyos, mga banal at minamahal, magsuot kayo ng pusong maawain, ng kabutihan, kapakumbabaan ng pag-iisip, ng kaamuan at pagtitiyaga. 13 Magbatahan kayo sa isa’t isa at magpatawaran kayo sa isa’t isa kapag ang sinuman ay may hinaing sa kaninuman. Kung paanong pinatawad kayo ni Cristo ay gayundin kayo magpatawad. 14 Higit sa lahat ng mga bagay na ito, magbihis kayo ng pag-ibig na siyang tali ng kasakdalan.
15 Ang kapayapaan ng Diyos ang siyang maghari sa inyong mga puso. Kayo ay tinawag dito sa isang katawan at maging mapagpasalamat kayo. 16 Manahang sagana sa inyo ang salita ni Cristo sa lahat ng karunungan. Turuan at payuhan ninyo ang bawat isa sa pamamagitan ng mga salmo, ng mga himno at mga awiting espirituwal. Umawit kayong may biyaya sa inyong puso sa Panginoon. 17 Anuman ang inyong gawin sa salita o sa gawa, gawin ninyo ang lahat sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus na may pagpapasalamat sa Diyos Ama sa pamamagitan niya.
Tuntunin Para sa Sambahayang Kristiyano
18 Mga asawang babae, magpasakop kayo sa inyong asawa gaya ng nararapat sa Panginoon.
19 Mga asawang lalaki, ibigin ninyo ang inyong asawa at huwag kayong maging marahas sa kanila.
20 Mga anak, sundin ninyo ang inyong mga magulang sa lahat ng bagay sapagkat nakalulugod ito sa Diyos.
21 Mga ama, huwag ninyong ibunsod sa galit ang inyong mga anak upang huwag manghina ang kanilang loob.
22 Mga alipin, sundin ninyo sa lahat ng bagay ang inyong mga amo dito sa lupa, hindi lamang kung sila ay nakatingin bilang pakitang-tao, kundi sa katapatan ng puso na may takot sa Diyos. 23 Anuman ang inyong gawin, gawin ninyo ito ng buong puso na para sa Panginoon at hindi para sa mga tao. 24 Yamang nalalaman ninyo na kayo ay tatanggap mula sa Panginoon ng gantimpalang mana dahil ang Panginoon, ang Cristo ang inyong pinaglilingkuran. 25 Ang sinumang gumagawa ng masama ay tatanggap ng kabayaran sa kaniyang ginawangkasamaan. Ang Diyos ay walang mga taong itinatangi.
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)
