Colossians - douay rheims

Chapter 3

¹ Therefore, if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God:
² Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.
³ For you are dead; and your life is hid with Christ in God.
⁴ When Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory.
⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is the service of idols.
⁶ For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief,
⁷ In which you also walked some time, when you lived in them.
⁸ But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.
⁹ Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with his deeds,
¹⁰ And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him.
¹¹ Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all, and in all.
¹² Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience:
¹³ Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also.
¹⁴ But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection:
¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful.
¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God.
¹⁷ All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
¹⁸ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord.
¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter towards them.
²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged.
²² Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not serving to the eye, as pleasing men, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.
²³ Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men:
²⁴ Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ.
²⁵ For he that doth wrong, shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully: and there is no respect of persons with God.

Chapter 3

¹ If ye then be raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
² Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
⁴ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then will ye also appear with him in glory.
⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; lewdness, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
⁶ For which things the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
⁷ In which ye also walked formerly, when ye lived with them.
⁸ But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
⁹ Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
¹⁰ And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
¹¹ Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
¹² Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
¹³ Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man hath a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
¹⁴ And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
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.
¹⁷ And whatever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
¹⁸ Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
²² Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
²³ And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
²⁴ Knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
²⁵ But he that doeth wrong, will receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Chapter 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.
² Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.
³ For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.
⁴ At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.
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;
⁶ Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;
⁷ Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.
⁸ But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;
⁹ Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,
¹⁰ And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;
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.
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;
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:
¹⁴ And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.
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.
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.
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.
¹⁸ Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.
¹⁹ Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.
²⁰ Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
²¹ Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.
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:
²³ Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;
²⁴ Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.
²⁵ For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.
