| Colossians 3:1 | If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. | If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. | If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand. |
| Colossians 3:2 | Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth. | Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. | Give your minds to the things that are above, not to the things that are on the earth. |

| Colossians 3:5 | Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods; | Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: | Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry. |
| Colossians 3:6 | Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders; | For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: | It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming, |
| Colossians 3:7 | Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things. | In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. | and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power. |
| Colossians 3:8 | But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk; | But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. | But now you must rid yourselves of every kind of sin angry and passionate outbreaks, ill-will, evil speaking, foul-mouthed abuse so that these may never soil your lips. |
| Colossians 3:9 | Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings, | Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; | Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings, |
| Colossians 3:10 | And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker; | And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: | and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it. |
| Colossians 3:11 | Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all. | Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. | In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us. |
| Colossians 3:12 | As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things; | Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; | Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; |
| Colossians 3:13 | Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you: | Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. | bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive. |
| Colossians 3:14 | And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together. | And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. | And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union; |
| Colossians 3:15 | And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times. | And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. | and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful. |
| Colossians 3:16 | Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts. | 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. | Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God. |
| Colossians 3:17 | And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him. | 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. | And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father. |
| Colossians 3:18 | Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord. | Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. | Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
| Colossians 3:19 | Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them. | Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. | Married men, be affectionate to your wives, and do not treat them harshly. |
| Colossians 3:20 | Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord. | Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. | Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians. |
| Colossians 3:21 | Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken. | Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. | Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose. |
| Colossians 3:22 | Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord: | Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: | Slaves, be obedient in everything to your earthly masters; not in acts of eye service, as aiming only to please men, but with simplicity of purpose, because you fear the Lord. |
| Colossians 3:23 | Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men; | And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; | Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men. |
| Colossians 3:24 | Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ. | Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. | For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are. |
| Colossians 3:25 | For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position. | But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. | The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions. |
