| 3:1 | If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. |
| 3:2 | Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. |
| 3:3 | For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. |
| 3:4 | When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. |
| 3:5 | Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: |
| 3:6 | For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: |
| 3:7 | In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. |
| 3:8 | But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. |
| 3:9 | Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; |
| 3:10 | And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: |
| 3:11 | Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. |
| 3:12 | Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; |
| 3:13 | Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. |
| 3:14 | And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. |
| 3:15 | And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. |
| 3:16 | Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. |
| 3:16 | 當用各樣的智慧、把基督的道理、豐豐富富的存在心裡〔或作當把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡以各樣的智慧〕、用詩章、頌詞、靈歌、彼此教導、互相勸戒、心被恩感、歌頌 神。 |
| 3:16 | 当用各样的智慧，把基督的道里，丰丰富富的存在心里（或作当把基督的道里丰丰富富的存在心里以各样的智慧），用诗章，颂词，灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感歌颂神。 |
| 1co:14:15 | What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. |
| eph:5:19 | Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; |
| COBL | |
| 3:17 | And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. |
| 3:18 | Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. |
| 3:19 | Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. |
| 3:20 | Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. |
| 3:21 | Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. |
| 3:22 | Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: |
| 3:23 | And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; |
| 3:24 | Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. |
| 3:25 | But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. |
