Chapter 3

ei oun sunhgerqhte tw cristw ta anw zhteite ou o cristoV estin en dexia tou qeou kaqhmenoV
3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

ta anw froneite mh ta epi thV ghV
3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

apeqanete gar kai h zwh umwn kekruptai sun tw cristw en tw qew
3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

otan o cristoV fanerwqh h zwh hmwn tote kai umeiV sun autw fanerwqhsesqe en doxh
3:4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

nekrwsate oun ta melh umwn ta epi thV ghV porneian akaqarsian paqoV epiqumian kakhn kai thn pleonexian htiV estin eidwlolatreia
3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

di a ercetai h orgh tou qeou epi touV uiouV thV apeiqeiaV
3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

en oiV kai umeiV periepathsate pote ote ezhte en autoiV
3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

nuni de apoqesqe kai umeiV ta panta orghn qumon kakian blasfhmian aiscrologian ek tou stomatoV umwn
3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

mh yeudesqe eiV allhlouV apekdusamenoi ton palaion anqrwpon sun taiV praxesin autou
3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

kai endusamenoi ton neon ton anakainoumenon eiV epignwsin kat eikona tou ktisantoV auton
3:10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

opou ouk eni ellhn kai ioudaioV peritomh kai akrobustia barbaroV skuqhV douloV eleuqeroV alla ta panta kai en pasin cristoV
3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.

endusasqe oun wV eklektoi tou qeou agioi kai hgaphmenoi splagcna oiktirmwn crhstothta tapeinofrosunhn praothta makroqumian
3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

anecomenoi allhlwn kai carizomenoi eautoiV ean tiV proV tina ech momfhn kaqwV kai o cristoV ecarisato umin outwV kai umeiV
3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.

epi pasin de toutoiV thn agaphn htiV estin sundesmoV thV teleiothtoV
3:14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

kai h eirhnh tou qeou brabeuetw en taiV kardiaiV umwn eiV hn kai eklhqhte en eni swmati kai eucaristoi ginesqe
3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

3:16 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.

kai pan o ti an poihte en logw h en ergw panta en onomati kuriou ihsou eucaristounteV tw qew kai patri di autou
3:17 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.

ai gunaikeV upotassesqe toiV idioiV andrasin wV anhken en kuriw
3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

3:19 Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.

3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.

oi douloi upakouete kata panta toiV kata sarka kurioiV mh en ofqalmodouleiaiV wV anqrwpareskoi all en aplothti kardiaV foboumenoi ton qeon
3:22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

kai pan o ti ean poihte ek yuchV ergazesqe wV tw kuriw kai ouk anqrwpoiV
3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

eidoteV oti apo kuriou apolhyesqe thn antapodosin thV klhronomiaV tw gar kuriw cristw douleuete
3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

o de adikwn komieitai o hdikhsen kai ouk estin proswpolhyia
3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
