GNT

1 εἰ οὗν συνηγέρθητε τῶ χριστῶ, τὰ ἄνω ζητεῖτε, οὖ ὁ χριστός ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ καθήμενος·

2 τὰ ἄνω φρονεῖτε, μὴ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·

3 ἀπεθάνετε γάρ, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν κέκρυπται σὺν τῶ χριστῶ ἐν τῶ θεῶ.

4 ὅταν ὁ χριστὸς φανερωθῇ, ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν, τότε καὶ ὑμεῖς σὺν αὐτῶ φανερωθήσεσθε ἐν δόξῃ.

5 νεκρώσατε οὗν τὰ μέλη τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, πορνείαν, ἀκαθαρσίαν, πάθος, ἐπιθυμίαν κακήν, καὶ τὴν πλεονεξίαν ἥτις ἐστὶν εἰδωλολατρία,

6 δι᾽ ἃ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ [ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας]·

7 ἐν οἷς καὶ ὑμεῖς περιεπατήσατέ ποτε ὅτε ἐζῆτε ἐν τούτοις.

8 νυνὶ δὲ ἀπόθεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς τὰ πάντα, ὀργήν, θυμόν, κακίαν, βλασφημίαν, αἰσχρολογίαν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν·

9 μὴ ψεύδεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους, ἀπεκδυσάμενοι τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον σὺν ταῖς πράξεσιν αὐτοῦ,

10 καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν νέον τὸν ἀνακαινούμενον εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν κατ᾽ εἰκόνα τοῦ κτίσαντος αὐτόν,

11 ὅπου οὐκ ἔνι ἕλλην καὶ ἰουδαῖος, περιτομὴ καὶ ἀκροβυστία, βάρβαρος, σκύθης, δοῦλος, ἐλεύθερος, ἀλλὰ [τὰ] πάντα καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν χριστός.

12 ἐνδύσασθε οὗν ὡς ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, ἅγιοι καὶ ἠγαπημένοι, σπλάγχνα οἰκτιρμοῦ, χρηστότητα, ταπεινοφροσύνην, πραΰτητα, μακροθυμίαν,

13 ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων καὶ χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς ἐάν τις πρός τινα ἔχῃ μομφήν· καθὼς καὶ ὁ κύριος ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς·

14 ἐπὶ πᾶσιν δὲ τούτοις τὴν ἀγάπην, ὅ ἐστιν σύνδεσμος τῆς τελειότητος.

15 καὶ ἡ εἰρήνη τοῦ χριστοῦ βραβευέτω ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, εἰς ἣν καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι· καὶ εὐχάριστοι γίνεσθε.

16 ὁ λόγος τοῦ χριστοῦ ἐνοικείτω ἐν ὑμῖν πλουσίως, ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ διδάσκοντες καὶ νουθετοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ψαλμοῖς, ὕμνοις, ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς ἐν [τῇ] χάριτι ᾄδοντες ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν τῶ θεῶ·

17 καὶ πᾶν ὅ τι ἐὰν ποιῆτε ἐν λόγῳ ἢ ἐν ἔργῳ, πάντα ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου ἰησοῦ, εὐχαριστοῦντες τῶ θεῶ πατρὶ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ.

18 αἱ γυναῖκες, ὑποτάσσεσθε τοῖς ἀνδράσιν, ὡς ἀνῆκεν ἐν κυρίῳ.

19 οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ μὴ πικραίνεσθε πρὸς αὐτάς.

20 τὰ τέκνα, ὑπακούετε τοῖς γονεῦσιν κατὰ πάντα, τοῦτο γὰρ εὐάρεστόν ἐστιν ἐν κυρίῳ.

21 οἱ πατέρες, μὴ ἐρεθίζετε τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, ἵνα μὴ ἀθυμῶσιν.

22 οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε κατὰ πάντα τοῖς κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις, μὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοδουλίᾳ ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας, φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον.

23 ὃ ἐὰν ποιῆτε, ἐκ ψυχῆς ἐργάζεσθε, ὡς τῶ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις,

24 εἰδότες ὅτι ἀπὸ κυρίου ἀπολήμψεσθε τὴν ἀνταπόδοσιν τῆς κληρονομίας. τῶ κυρίῳ χριστῶ δουλεύετε·

25 ὁ γὰρ ἀδικῶν κομίσεται ὃ ἠδίκησεν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν προσωπολημψία.

1  If¹⁴⁸⁷ ye then³⁷⁶⁷ be risen with⁴⁸⁹¹ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ seek²²¹² those things which are above,⁵⁰⁷ where³⁷⁵⁷ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ sitteth^{2076 2521} on¹⁷²² the right hand¹¹⁸⁸ of God.²³¹⁶

2  Set your affection on⁵⁴²⁶ things above,⁵⁰⁷ not³³⁶¹ on things³⁵⁸⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

3  For¹⁰⁶³ ye are dead,⁵⁹⁹ and²⁵³² your⁵²¹⁶ life²²²² is hid²⁹²⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ in¹⁷²² God.²³¹⁶

4  When³⁷⁵² Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ who is our²²⁵⁷ life,²²²² shall appear,⁵³¹⁹ then⁵¹¹⁹ shall ye⁵²¹⁰ also²⁵³² appear⁵³¹⁹ with⁴⁸⁶² him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² glory.¹³⁹¹

5  Mortify³⁴⁹⁹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ your⁵²¹⁶ members³¹⁹⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ are upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth;¹⁰⁹³ fornication,⁴²⁰² uncleanness,¹⁶⁷ inordinate affection,³⁸⁰⁶ evil²⁵⁵⁶ concupiscence,¹⁹³⁹ and²⁵³² covetousness,⁴¹²⁴ which³⁷⁴⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ idolatry:¹⁴⁹⁵

6  For which things' sake^{1223 3739} the³⁵⁸⁸ wrath³⁷⁰⁹ of God²³¹⁶ cometh²⁰⁶⁴ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of disobedience:⁵⁴³

7  In¹⁷²² the which³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ also²⁵³² walked⁴⁰⁴³ some time,⁴²¹⁸ when³⁷⁵³ ye lived²¹⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² them.⁸⁴⁶

8  But¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ ye⁵²¹⁰ also²⁵³² put off⁶⁵⁹ all these;³⁹⁵⁶ anger,³⁷⁰⁹ wrath,²³⁷² malice,²⁵⁴⁹ blasphemy,⁹⁸⁸ filthy communication¹⁴⁸ out of¹⁵³⁷ your⁵²¹⁶ mouth.⁴⁷⁵⁰

9  Lie⁵⁵⁷⁴ not³³⁶¹ one to another,^{240 1519} seeing that ye have put off⁵⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ old³⁸²⁰ man⁴⁴⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² his⁸⁴⁶ deeds;⁴²³⁴

10  And²⁵³² have put on¹⁷⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ new³⁵⁰¹ man, which is renewed³⁴¹ in¹⁵¹⁹ knowledge¹⁹²² after²⁵⁹⁶ the image¹⁵⁰⁴ of him that created²⁹³⁶ him:⁸⁴⁶

11  Where³⁶⁹⁹ there is¹⁷⁶² neither³⁷⁵⁶ Greek¹⁶⁷² nor²⁵³² Jew,²⁴⁵³ circumcision⁴⁰⁶¹ nor²⁵³² uncircumcision,²⁰³ Barbarian,⁹¹⁵ Scythian,⁴⁶⁵⁸ bond¹⁴⁰¹ nor free:¹⁶⁵⁸ but²³⁵ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is all,³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² all.³⁹⁵⁶

12  Put on¹⁷⁴⁶ therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ as⁵⁶¹³ the elect¹⁵⁸⁸ of God,²³¹⁶ holy⁴⁰ and²⁵³² beloved,²⁵ bowels⁴⁶⁹⁸ of mercies,³⁶²⁸ kindness,⁵⁵⁴⁴ humbleness of mind,⁵⁰¹² meekness,⁴²³⁶ longsuffering;³¹¹⁵

13  Forbearing⁴³⁰ one another,²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² forgiving⁵⁴⁸³ one another,¹⁴³⁸ if¹⁴³⁷ any man⁵¹⁰⁰ have²¹⁹² a quarrel³⁴³⁷ against⁴³¹⁴ any:⁵¹⁰⁰ even²⁵³² as²⁵³¹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ forgave⁵⁴⁸³ you,⁵²¹³ so³⁷⁷⁹ also²⁵³² do ye.⁵²¹⁰

14  And¹¹⁶¹ above¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ these things⁵¹²⁵ put on charity,²⁶ which³⁷⁴⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the bond⁴⁸⁸⁶ of perfectness.⁵⁰⁴⁷

15  And²⁵³² let the³⁵⁸⁸ peace¹⁵¹⁵ of God²³¹⁶ rule¹⁰¹⁸ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ hearts,²⁵⁸⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ the which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² ye are called²⁵⁶⁴ in¹⁷²² one¹⁵²⁰ body;⁴⁹⁸³ and²⁵³² be¹⁰⁹⁶ ye thankful.²¹⁷⁰

16  Let the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ dwell¹⁷⁷⁴ in¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ richly⁴¹⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ wisdom;⁴⁶⁷⁸ teaching¹³²¹ and²⁵³² admonishing³⁵⁶⁰ one another¹⁴³⁸ in psalms⁵⁵⁶⁸ and²⁵³² hymns⁵²¹⁵ and²⁵³² spiritual⁴¹⁵² songs,⁵⁶⁰³ singing¹⁰³ with¹⁷²² grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

17  And²⁵³² whatsoever^{3748 302} ye do⁴¹⁶⁰ in¹⁷²² word³⁰⁵⁶ or²²²⁸ deed,²⁰⁴¹ do all³⁹⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the name³⁶⁸⁶ of the Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ giving thanks²¹⁶⁸ to God²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² the Father³⁹⁶² by¹²²³ him.⁸⁴⁶

18  Wives,¹¹³⁵ submit yourselves⁵²⁹³ unto your own²³⁹⁸ husbands,⁴³⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ it is fit⁴³³ in¹⁷²² the Lord.²⁹⁶²

19  Husbands,⁴³⁵ love²⁵ your wives,¹¹³⁵ and²⁵³² be not bitter^{4087 3361} against⁴³¹⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

20  Children,⁵⁰⁴³ obey⁵²¹⁹ your parents¹¹¹⁸ in²⁵⁹⁶ all things:³⁹⁵⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ this⁵¹²⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ well pleasing²¹⁰¹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

21  Fathers,²⁹⁶² provoke²⁰⁴² not³³⁶¹ your⁵²¹⁶ children⁵⁰⁴³ to anger, lest³³⁶³ they be discouraged.¹²⁰

22  Servants,¹⁴⁰¹ obey⁵²¹⁹ in²⁵⁹⁶ all things³⁹⁵⁶ your masters²⁹⁶² according²⁵⁹⁶ to the flesh;⁴⁵⁶¹ not³³⁶¹ with¹⁷²² eyeservice,³⁷⁸⁷ as⁵⁶¹³ menpleasers;⁴⁴¹ but²³⁵ in¹⁷²² singleness⁵⁷² of heart,²⁵⁸⁸ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ God:²³¹⁶

23  And²⁵³² whatsoever^{3748 1437} ye do,⁴¹⁶⁰ do²⁰³⁸ it heartily,^{1537 5590} as⁵⁶¹³ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ unto men;⁴⁴⁴

24  Knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ of⁵⁷⁵ the Lord²⁹⁶² ye shall receive⁶¹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ reward⁴⁶⁹ of the inheritance;²⁸¹⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ ye serve¹³⁹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

25  But¹¹⁶¹ he that doeth wrong⁹¹ shall receive²⁸⁶⁵ for the wrong which he hath done;^{91 3739} and²⁵³² there is²⁰⁷⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ respect of persons.⁴³⁸²

Vul

1 Igitur, si consurrexistis cum Christo: quæ sursum sunt quærite, ubi Christus est in dextera Dei sedens:

2 quæ sursum sunt sapite, non quæ super terram.

3 Mortui enim estis, et vita vestra est abscondita cum Christo in Deo.

4 Cum Christus apparuerit, vita vestra: tunc et vos apparebitis cum ipso in gloria.

5 Mortificate ergo membra vestra, quæ sunt super terram: fornicationem, immunditiam, libidinem, concupiscentiam malam, et avaritiam, quæ est simulacrorum servitus:

6 propter quæ venit ira Dei super filios incredulitatis:

7 in quibus et vos ambulastis aliquando, cum viveretis in illis.

8 Nunc autem deponite et vos omnia: iram, indignationem, malitiam, blasphemiam, turpem sermonem de ore vestro.

9 Nolite mentiri invicem, expoliantes vos veterem hominem cum actibus suis,

10 et induentes novum eum, qui renovatur in agnitionem secundum imaginem ejus qui creavit illum:

11 ubi non est gentilis et Judæus, circumcisio et præputium, Barbarus et Scytha, servus et liber: sed omnia, et in omnibus Christus.

12 Induite vos ergo, sicut electi Dei, sancti, et dilecti, viscera misericordiæ, benignitatem, humilitatem, modestiam, patientiam:

13 supportantes invicem, et donantes vobismetipsis si quis adversus aliquem habet querelam: sicut et Dominus donavit vobis, ita et vos.

14 Super omnia autem hæc, caritatem habete, quod est vinculum perfectionis:

15 et pax Christi exsultet in cordibus vestris, in qua et vocati estis in uno corpore: et grati estote.

16 Verbum Christi habitet in vobis abundanter, in omni sapientia, docentes, et commonentes vosmetipsos, psalmis, hymnis, et canticis spiritualibus, in gratia cantantes in cordibus vestris Deo.

17 Omne, quodcumque facitis in verbo aut in opere, omnia in nomine Domini Jesu Christi, gratias agentes Deo et Patri per ipsum.

18 Mulieres, subditæ estote viris, sicut oportet, in Domino.

19 Viri, diligite uxores vestras, et nolite amari esse ad illas.

20 Filii, obedite parentibus per omnia: hoc enim placitum est in Domino.

21 Patres, nolite ad indignationem provocare filios vestros, ut non pusillo animo fiant.

22 Servi, obedite per omnia dominis carnalibus, non ad oculum servientes, quasi hominibus placentes, sed in simplicitate cordis, timentes Deum.

23 Quodcumque facitis, ex animo operamini sicut Domino, et non hominibus:

24 scientes quod a Domino accipietis retributionem hæreditatis. Domino Christo servite.

25 Qui enim injuriam facit, recipiet id quod inique gessit: et non est personarum acceptio apud Deum.
