Colossians 3

1 If ye then be risen with
ℵ* ⟨in⟩
 Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
1 Εἰ οὖν συνηγέρθητε τῷ χριστῷ, τὰ ἄνω ζητεῖτε, οὗ ὁ χριστός ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ καθήμενος.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
2 Τὰ ἄνω φρονεῖτε, μὴ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
3 Ἀπεθάνετε γάρ, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν κέκρυπται σὺν τῷ χριστῷ ἐν τῷ θεῷ.
4 When Christ, who is our
ℵ ⟨your⟩
 life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him
A omit
 in glory.
4 Ὅταν ὁ χριστὸς φανερωθῇ, ἡ ζωὴ ἡμῶν, τότε καὶ ὑμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ φανερωθήσεσθε ἐν δόξῃ.
5 Mortify therefore your
ℵB ⟨the⟩
 members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
5 Νεκρώσατε οὖν τὰ μέλη ὑμῶν
WH omit
 τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, πορνείαν, ἀκαθαρσίαν, πάθος, ἐπιθυμίαν κακήν, καὶ τὴν πλεονεξίαν, ἥτις ἐστὶν εἰδωλολατρεία
WH εἰδωλολατρία
,
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience
B omit
:
6 δι’ ἃ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας·
WH omit
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
7 ἐν οἷς καὶ ὑμεῖς περιεπατήσατέ ποτε, ὅτε ἐζῆτε ἐν αὐτοῖς.
WH τούτοις·
8 But now ye also
ℵ omit
 put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
8 Νυνὶ δὲ ἀπόθεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς τὰ πάντα, ὀργήν, θυμόν, κακίαν, βλασφημίαν, αἰσχρολογίαν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν·
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
9 μὴ ψεύδεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους, ἀπεκδυσάμενοι τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον σὺν ταῖς πράξεσιν αὐτοῦ,
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
10 καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν νέον, τὸν ἀνακαινούμενον εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν κατ’ εἰκόνα τοῦ κτίσαντος αὐτόν·
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
11 ὅπου οὐκ ἔνι Ἕλλην καὶ Ἰουδαῖος, περιτομὴ καὶ ἀκροβυστία, βάρβαρος, Σκύθης, δοῦλος, ἐλεύθερος· ἀλλὰ τὰ
WH omit
 πάντα καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν χριστός.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
B ⟨and⟩
 beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
12 Ἐνδύσασθε οὖν, ὡς ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, ἅγιοι καὶ ἠγαπημένοι, σπλάγχνα οἰκτιρμοῦ, χρηστότητα, ταπεινοφροσύνην, πρᾳότητα
WH πραΰτητα
, μακροθυμίαν·
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ
ℵ ⟨God⟩; BA ⟨the Lord⟩
 forgave you, so also do ye.
13 ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων, καὶ χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς, ἐάν τις πρός τινα ἔχῃ μομφήν· καθὼς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς
WH κύριος
 ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς·
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
14 ἐπὶ πᾶσιν
WH πᾶσι
 δὲ τούτοις τὴν ἀγάπην, ἥτις
WH ὅ
 ἐστὶν σύνδεσμος τῆς τελειότητος.
15 And let the peace of God
ℵBA ⟨Christ⟩
 rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one
B ⟨the⟩
 body; and be ye thankful.
15 Καὶ ἡ εἰρήνη τοῦ θεοῦ
WH χριστοῦ
 βραβευέτω ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, εἰς ἣν καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν ἑνὶ
WH [ἑνὶ]
 σώματι· καὶ εὐχάριστοι γίνεσθε.
16 Let the word of Christ
ℵ ⟨the Lord⟩; A ⟨God⟩
 dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and
ℵBA ⟨and⟩
 hymns and
ℵB ⟨and⟩
 spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord
ℵBA ⟨God⟩
.
16 Ὁ λόγος τοῦ χριστοῦ ἐνοικείτω ἐν ὑμῖν πλουσίως ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ· διδάσκοντες καὶ νουθετοῦντες ἑαυτούς, ψαλμοῖς, καὶ
WH omit
 ὕμνοις, καὶ
WH omit
 ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ἐν χάριτι ᾄδοντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ
WH ταῖς καρδίαις
 ὑμῶν τῷ κυρίῳ.
WH θεῷ·
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus
ℵ ⟨the Lord Jesus Christ⟩; A ⟨Jesus Christ⟩
, giving thanks to God and
ℵBA omit
 the Father by him.
17 Καὶ πᾶν ὅ τι ἂν
WH ὅτι ἐὰν
 ποιῆτε, ἐν λόγῳ ἢ ἐν ἔργῳ, πάντα ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, εὐχαριστοῦντες τῷ θεῷ καὶ
WH omit
 πατρὶ δι’ αὐτοῦ.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own

20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto
ℵBA ⟨in⟩
 the Lord.
20 Τὰ τέκνα, ὑπακούετε τοῖς γονεῦσιν κατὰ πάντα· τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν
WH omit
 εὐάρεστον [+]
WH ἐστιν
 ἐν κυρίῳ.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger
ℵA ⟨to wrath⟩
, lest they be discouraged.
21 Οἱ πατέρες, μὴ ἐρεθίζετε τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, ἵνα μὴ ἀθυμῶσιν.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God
ℵBA ⟨the Lord⟩
:
22 Οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε κατὰ πάντα τοῖς κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις, μὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοδουλείαις
WH ὀφθαλμοδουλίαις,
 ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι, ἀλλ’ ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας, φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν·
WH κύριον.
23 And
ℵBA omit
 whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to
