Colossians 3

1 Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

1 所以，你们若真与基督一同复活，就当求在上面的事；那里有基督坐在 神的右边。

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

2 你们要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

3 因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在 神里面。

4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

4 基督是我们的生命，他显现的时候，你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。

5 Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.

5 所以，要治死你们在地上的肢体，就如淫乱、污秽、邪情、恶欲，和贪婪（贪婪就与拜偶像一样）。

6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

6 因这些事， 神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子。

7 When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.

7 当你们在这些事中活着的时候，也曾这样行过。

8 But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

8 但现在你们要弃绝这一切的事，以及恼恨、忿怒、恶毒 、毁谤，并口中污秽的言语。

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,

9 不要彼此说谎；因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为，

10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

10 穿上了新人。这新人在知识上渐渐更新，正如造他主的形象。

11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.

11 在此并不分希腊人、犹太人，受割礼的、未受割礼的，化外人、西古提人，为奴的、自主的，惟有基督是包括一切，又住在各人之内。

12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

12 所以，你们既是 神的选民，圣洁蒙爱的人，就要存 怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。

13 Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

13 倘若这人与那人有嫌隙，总要彼此包容，彼此饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要怎样饶恕人。

14 And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.

14 在这一切之外，要存着爱心，爱心就是联络全德的。

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.

15 又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主；你们也为此蒙召，归为一体；且要存感谢的心。

16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

16 当用各样的智慧，把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里 ，用诗章、颂词、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感，歌颂 神。

17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

17 无论做什么，或说话或行事，都要奉主耶稣的名，借着他感谢父 神。

18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

18 你们作妻子的，当顺服自己的丈夫，这在主里面是相宜的。

19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

19 你们作丈夫的，要爱你们的妻子，不可苦待她们。

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

20 你们作儿女的，要凡事听从父母，因为这是主所喜悦的。

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.

21 你们作父亲的，不要惹儿女的气，恐怕他们失了志气。

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

22 你们作仆人的，要凡事听从你们肉身的主人，不要只在眼前事奉，像是讨人喜欢的，总要存心诚实敬畏主。

23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

23 无论做什么，都要从心里做，像是给主做的，不是给人做的，

24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

24 因你们知道从主那里必得着基业为赏赐；你们所事奉的乃是主基督。

25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

25 那行不义的必受不义的报应；主并不偏待人。
