| Colossians 3:1 | If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand. | 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 then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. |
| Colossians 3:2 | Give your minds to the things that are above, not to the things that are on the earth. | Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth. | Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. |
| Colossians 3:3 | For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. | For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God. | For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. |
| Colossians 3:4 | When Christ appears He is our true Life then you also will appear with Him in glory. | At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory. | When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory. |
| Colossians 3:5 | Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of 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; | Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; |
| Colossians 3:6 | It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming, | Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders; | for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience. |
| Colossians 3:7 | and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power. | Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things. | You also once walked in those, when you lived in these things; |
| Colossians 3:8 | 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. | But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk; | but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. |
| Colossians 3:9 | Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings, | Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings, | Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, |
| Colossians 3:10 | and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it. | 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, that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, |
| Colossians 3:11 | 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. | 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 can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all. |
| Colossians 3:12 | Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; | 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 God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; |
| Colossians 3:13 | 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. | 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 forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do. |
| Colossians 3:14 | And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union; | And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together. | Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection. |
| Colossians 3:15 | 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. | 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. | Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body. Be thankful. |
| Colossians 3:16 | 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. | 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 with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. |
| Colossians 3:17 | 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. | 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. | Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father, through him. |
| Colossians 3:18 | Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. | Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord. | Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
| Colossians 3:19 | Married men, be affectionate to your wives, and do not treat them harshly. | Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them. | Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them. |
| Colossians 3:20 | Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians. | 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 pleases the Lord. |
| Colossians 3:21 | Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose. | Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken. | Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged. |
| Colossians 3:22 | 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. | 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 those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord. |
| Colossians 3:23 | Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men. | Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men; | Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, |
| Colossians 3:24 | 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. | Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ. | knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord, Christ. |
| Colossians 3:25 | The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions. | For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position. | For he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality. |
