Colossians Chapter 3

Col 3

Preach Christ, not carnality

1 Therefore, if you shall be raised up together with Christ, seek after things from above, where Christ settle down in the Right Hand of God.

2 Exercise your mind on the things from above, not things upon the earth.

3 because, for you who is together with Christ, Zoe-Life of God is in you, but it is hidden to those who will die off.

4 (and) whenever Christ will manifest, at that time, by your Zoe-Life, even you together with Him, shall manifest in glory.

5 Therefore, by (His) PASSION/emotional-suffering/tough experience, upon the earth, parts of your body could be deadened to uncleanness of sexual immorality/harlotry, greediness and lusts, evil things which are of idolatry/paganism.

6 by reason of which, the anger of God is coming (upon the rebellious/unbelieving sons);

7 in which even you at some time past had walked, while you were living in those things.

8 however now, for emphasy, you should have put all (those things) away: anger, fierceness, wicked-intentions, slander/blasphemy, foul/filthy-words, even out of your mouth.

9 Do not lie unto one another, having put-off things of the old man, together with his habitual practices.

10 and put-on the new things, according the likeness/icon of the one originally formed, who has been renewed (as of new-age), unto Him by full-discernment/additional-knowledge.

11 where there is no Greek of uncircumcised foreskin and Jews of circumcision, Barbarian (non-greek), Scythian (Iranian stock, now Crimea), Slaves, and Free-born/citizens. On the contrary, Christ is everything in everybody.

12 Therefore, as a Chosen, holy ones and Beloved of God; put-on a bowel/yearning of compassion, kindness, humbled-mind, meekness, and long-patience;

13 put-up/bear with one another and grant pardon as favor to yourselves, in case anyone has a complaint against another, just as (Christ) the Lord granted you pardon by favour, likewise even you (should do).

14 however, upon all these things, is SELFLESS-LOVE (Agape), which is the joint/ligaments/bond of perfectness/completeness.

15 and the Peace (with God), will govern/arbitrates your heart, by which you are called-forth unto one body in Christ, even to become well favored.

16 and the words of grace in Christ, shall coupiously dwell in you, having taught you in spiritual wisdom, admonish yourselves in Psalms, sing songs and hymns by all your hearts to God.

17 and what everybody have done, which in case may be, in words or actions: be grateful to God the FATHER for everything in the Name of the Lord Jesus, because of them.

Characters of Christian wives, Husbands, Children, Servants

18 Wives (women), should be submissive to the husbands (fellow-men) as it is proper in the Lord:

19 husbands (fellow-men), should selflessly-love the wives (women) and never be embittered towards them.

20 Children, listen attentively to the Parents with respect to all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

21 Fathers/Parents, should not provoke/irritate children, lest they should be discouraged.

22 Servants should listen attentively to masters in the flesh, with respect to all things, not by sycophancy/by eyes service and men-pleasers, but as those who revere the Supreme Lord in sincerity/simplicity of heart.

23 what peradventure should be done, labour/operate out from soul, as unto the SUPREME Lord, and not to men.

24 be aware that, you will fully receive your reward of heirship from the Supreme Lord for serving Christ the Lord. (Eph 6:6)

25 for, those who do wrong will receive back from doing wrongs and there will be no partiality.
