Berean Standard Bible
1Igitur, si consurrexistis cum Christo: quæ sursum sunt quærite, ubi Christus est in dextera Dei sedens:
1Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2quæ sursum sunt sapite, non quæ super terram.
2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3Mortui enim estis, et vita vestra est abscondita cum Christo in Deo.
3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
4Cum Christus apparuerit, vita vestra: tunc et vos apparebitis cum ipso in gloria.
4When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
5Mortificate ergo membra vestra, quæ sunt super terram: fornicationem, immunditiam, libidinem, concupiscentiam malam, et avaritiam, quæ est simulacrorum servitus:
5Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.
6propter quæ venit ira Dei super filios incredulitatis:
6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
7in quibus et vos ambulastis aliquando, cum viveretis in illis.
7When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.
8Nunc autem deponite et vos omnia: iram, indignationem, malitiam, blasphemiam, turpem sermonem de ore vestro.
8But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
9Nolite mentiri invicem, expoliantes vos veterem hominem cum actibus suis,
9Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,
10et induentes novum eum, qui renovatur in agnitionem secundum imaginem ejus qui creavit illum:
10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
11ubi non est gentilis et Judæus, circumcisio et præputium, Barbarus et Scytha, servus et liber: sed omnia, et in omnibus Christus.
11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.
12Induite vos ergo, sicut electi Dei, sancti, et dilecti, viscera misericordiæ, benignitatem, humilitatem, modestiam, patientiam:
12Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
13supportantes invicem, et donantes vobismetipsis si quis adversus aliquem habet querelam: sicut et Dominus donavit vobis, ita et vos.
13Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14Super omnia autem hæc, caritatem habete, quod est vinculum perfectionis:
14And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.
15et pax Christi exsultet in cordibus vestris, in qua et vocati estis in uno corpore: et grati estote.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
16Verbum Christi habitet in vobis abundanter, in omni sapientia, docentes, et commonentes vosmetipsos, psalmis, hymnis, et canticis spiritualibus, in gratia cantantes in cordibus vestris Deo.
16Let 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.
17Omne, quodcumque facitis in verbo aut in opere, omnia in nomine Domini Jesu Christi, gratias agentes Deo et Patri per ipsum.
17And 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.
18Mulieres, subditæ estote viris, sicut oportet, in Domino.
18Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19Viri, diligite uxores vestras, et nolite amari esse ad illas.
19Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
20Filii, obedite parentibus per omnia: hoc enim placitum est in Domino.
20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
21Patres, nolite ad indignationem provocare filios vestros, ut non pusillo animo fiant.
21Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.
22Servi, obedite per omnia dominis carnalibus, non ad oculum servientes, quasi hominibus placentes, sed in simplicitate cordis, timentes Deum.
22Slaves, 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.
23Quodcumque facitis, ex animo operamini sicut Domino, et non hominibus:
23Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,
24scientes quod a Domino accipietis retributionem hæreditatis. Domino Christo servite.
24because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
25Qui enim injuriam facit, recipiet id quod inique gessit: et non est personarum acceptio apud Deum.
25Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
