歌罗西书 第 3 章

¹所以，你们若真与基督一同复活，就当求在上面的事；那里有基督坐在神的右边。If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

²你们要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

³因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

⁴基督是我们的生命，他显现的时候，你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

⁵所以，要治死你们在地上的肢体，就如淫乱、污秽、邪情、恶欲，和贪婪。贪婪就与拜偶像一样。Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

⁶因这些事，神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子。For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

⁷当你们在这些事中活着的时候，也曾这样行过。In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

⁸但现在你们要弃绝这一切的事，以及恼恨、忿怒、恶毒（或作：阴毒）、毁谤，并口中污秽的言语。But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

⁹不要彼此说谎；因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为，Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

¹⁰穿上了新人。这新人在知识上渐渐更新，正如造他主的形像。And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

¹¹在此并不分希利尼人、犹太人，受割礼的、未受割礼的，化外人，西古提人，为奴的、自主的，惟有基督是包括一切，又住在各人之内。Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

¹²所以，你们既是神的选民，圣洁蒙爱的人，就要存（原文作穿；下同）怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

¹³倘若这人与那人有嫌隙，总要彼此包容，彼此饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要怎样饶恕人。Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

¹⁴在这一切之外，要存着爱心，爱心就是联络全德的。And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

¹⁵又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主；你们也为此蒙召，归为一体；且要存感谢的心。And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

¹⁶当用各样的智慧，把基督的道理丰丰富富的存在心里，（或作：当把基督的道理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。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无论做甚么，或说话或行事，都要奉主耶稣的名，借着他感谢父神。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.

¹⁸你们作妻子的，当顺服自己的丈夫，这在主里面是相宜的。Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

¹⁹你们作丈夫的，要爱你们的妻子，不可苦待他们。Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

²⁰你们作儿女的，要凡事听从父母，因为这是主所喜悦的。Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

²¹你们作父亲的，不要惹儿女的气，恐怕他们失了志气。Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

²²你们作仆人的，要凡事听从你们肉身的主人，不要只在眼前事奉，像是讨人喜欢的，总要存心诚实敬畏主。Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

²³无论做甚么，都要从心里做，像是给主做的，不是给人做的，And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

²⁴因你们知道从主那里必得着基业为赏赐；你们所事奉的乃是主基督。Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

²⁵那行不义的必受不义的报应；主并不偏待人。But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
