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)

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.

Normas para una vida santa
3 Ya que han resucitado con Cristo, busquen las cosas de arriba, donde está Cristo sentado a la derecha de Dios. 2 Concentren su atención en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra, 3 pues ustedes han muerto y su vida está escondida con Cristo en Dios. 4 Cuando Cristo, que es la vida de ustedes,[a] se manifieste, entonces también ustedes serán manifestados con él en gloria.
5 Por tanto, hagan 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 Ustedes las practicaron en otro tiempo, cuando vivían en ellas. 8 Pero ahora abandonen también todo esto: enojo, ira, malicia, calumnia y lenguaje obsceno. 9 Dejen de mentirse unos a otros, ahora que se han quitado el ropaje de la vieja naturaleza con sus vicios 10 y se han puesto el de la nueva naturaleza, que se va renovando en conocimiento a imagen de su Creador. 11 En esta nueva naturaleza no hay judío ni no judío, circunciso ni incircunciso, extranjero, inculto,[c] esclavo o libre, sino que Cristo es todo y está en todos.
12 Por lo tanto, como pueblo escogido de Dios, santo y amado, revístanse de afecto entrañable y de bondad, humildad, amabilidad y paciencia, 13 de modo que se toleren unos a otros y se perdonen si alguno tiene queja contra otro. Así como el Señor los perdonó, perdonen también ustedes. 14 Por encima de todo, vístanse de amor, que es el vínculo perfecto.
15 Que gobierne en sus corazones la paz de Cristo, a la cual fueron llamados en un solo cuerpo. Y sean agradecidos. 16 Que habite en ustedes la palabra de Cristo con toda su riqueza: instrúyanse y aconséjense unos a otros con toda sabiduría; canten salmos, himnos y canciones espirituales a Dios, con gratitud de corazón. 17 Y todo lo que hagan, de palabra o de obra, háganlo en el nombre del Señor Jesús, dando gracias a Dios el Padre por medio de él.
Normas para la familia cristiana
18 Esposas, sométanse a sus esposos, como conviene en el Señor.
19 Esposos, amen a sus esposas y no sean duros con ellas.
20 Hijos, obedezcan a sus padres en todo, porque esto agrada al Señor.
21 Padres, no exasperen a sus hijos, no sea que se desanimen.
22 Esclavos, obedezcan en todo a sus amos terrenales, no solo cuando ellos los estén mirando, como si ustedes quisieran ganarse el favor humano, sino con corazón sincero y por respeto al Señor. 23 Hagan lo que hagan, trabajen de buena gana, como para el Señor y no como para nadie en este mundo, 24 conscientes de que el Señor los recompensará con la herencia. Ustedes sirven a Cristo el Señor. 25 El que hace el mal pagará por su propia maldad, porque en esto no hay favoritismos.
歌罗西书 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
歌罗西书 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
3 所以，你們既然與基督一同復活，就應當尋求天上的事，那裡有基督坐在 神的右邊。 2 你們要思念的，是天上的事，不是地上的事。 3 因為你們已經死了，你們的生命與基督一同隱藏在 神裡面。 4 基督就是你們的生命，他顯現的時候，你們也要和他一同在榮耀裡顯現。
5 所以要治死你們在地上的肢體，就如淫亂、污穢、邪情、惡慾和貪心，貪心就是拜偶像。 6 因著這些事， 神的忿怒必要臨到悖逆的人（有些抄本無“悖逆的人”）。 7 你們從前在其中生活的時候，也曾經這樣行過。 8 但現在你們要除去忿怒、惱怒、惡毒、毀謗，以及粗言穢語這一切事。 9 不要彼此說謊，因為你們已經脫去了舊人和舊人的行為， 10 穿上了新人。這新人照著他的創造者的形象漸漸更新，能夠充分認識主。 11 在這一方面，並不分希臘人和猶太人，受割禮的和未受割禮的，未開化的人和西古提人，奴隸和自由人，唯有基督是一切，也在一切之內。
12 所以，你們既然是 神所揀選的，是聖潔、蒙愛的人，就要存憐憫的心腸、恩慈、謙卑、溫柔和忍耐。 13 如果有人對別人有嫌隙，總要彼此寬容，互相饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要照樣饒恕人。 14 在這一切之上，還要有愛心，愛心是聯繫全德的。 15 又要讓基督的平安在你們心裡作主；你們蒙召歸為一體，也是為了這個緣故。你們要有感謝的心。 16 你們要讓基督的道豐豐富富地住在你們心裡，以各樣的智慧，彼此教導，互相勸戒，用詩章、聖詩、靈歌，懷著感恩的心歌頌 神。 17 凡你們所作的，無論是言語或行為，都要奉主耶穌的名，藉著他感謝父 神。
過新人的生活
18 你們作妻子的，要順服丈夫，這在主裡是合宜的。 19 你們作丈夫的，要愛妻子，不可苦待她們。
20 你們作兒女的，要凡事聽從父母，因為這在主裡是可喜悅的。 21 你們作父親的，不要激怒兒女，免得他們灰心喪志。
22 你們作僕人的，要凡事聽從世上的主人，作事不要只作給人看，像那些討人歡心的一樣，卻要以真誠的心敬畏主。 23 無論你們作甚麼，都要從心裡去作，像是為主作的，不是為人作的， 24 因為你們知道，你們一定會從主那裡得到基業為賞賜。你們應當服事主基督， 25 但那些不義的人，必按他所行的不義受報應。主並不偏待人。
