| Colossians 3:1 | If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God: | 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 however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand. |
| Colossians 3:2 | have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth; | Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth. | Give your minds to the things that are above, not to the things that are on the earth. |
| Colossians 3:3 | for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. | For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God. | For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. |
| Colossians 3:4 | When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory. | At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory. | When Christ appears He is our true Life then you also will appear with Him in glory. |
| Colossians 3:5 | Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry. | 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; | 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 | On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. | Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders; | It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming, |
| Colossians 3:7 | In which *ye* also once walked when ye lived in these things. | Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things. | and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power. |
| Colossians 3:8 | But now, put off, *ye* also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth. | But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk; | 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 lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds, | Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings, | Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings, |
| Colossians 3:10 | and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him; | And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker; | 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 | wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all. | 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. | 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 | Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; | 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; | 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 | forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] *ye*. | 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: | 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 to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness. | And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together. | And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union; |
| Colossians 3:15 | And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful. | 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 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 the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. | 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 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 everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him. | 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 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 subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord. | Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord. | Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
| Colossians 3:19 | Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. | Husbands, have love for 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, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord. | Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord. | Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians. |
| Colossians 3:21 | Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened. | Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken. | Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose. |
| Colossians 3:22 | Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord. | 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: | 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 | Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men; | Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to 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 | knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ. | Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of 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 he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons. | For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position. | The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions. |
