新約 -- 歌羅西書(Colossians) -- 第3章
3:1 所以你們若真與基督一同復活,就當求在上面的事。那里有基督坐在神的右邊。
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
3:2 你們要思念上面的事,不要思念地上的事。
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3:3 因為你們已經死了,你們的生命與基督一同藏在神里面。
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
3:4 基督是我們的生命,他顯現的時候,你們也要與他一同顯現在榮耀里。
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
3:5 所以要治死你們在地上的肢體。就如淫亂,污穢,邪情,惡欲,和貪婪,貪婪就與拜偶像一樣。
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
3:6 因這些事,神的忿怒必臨到那悖逆之子。
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
3:7 當你們在這些事中活著的時候,也曾這樣行過。
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
3:8 但現在你們要棄絕這一切的事,以及惱恨,忿怒,惡毒,(或作陰毒)毀謗,并口中污穢的言語。
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
3:9 不要彼此說謊,因你們已經脫去舊人和舊人的行為,Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
3:10 穿上了新人。這新人在知識上漸漸更新,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:
3:11 在此并不分希臘人,猶太人,受割禮的,未受割禮的,化外人,西古提人,為奴的,自主的,惟有基督是包括一切,又住在各人之內。
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
3:12 所以你們既是神的選民,圣潔蒙愛的人,就要存(原文作穿下同)憐憫,恩慈,謙虛,溫柔,忍耐的心。
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
3:13 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙,總要彼此包容,彼此饒恕。主怎樣饒恕了你們,你們也要怎樣饒恕人。
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
3:14 在這一切之外,要存著愛心。愛心就是聯絡全德的。
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
3:15 又要叫基督的平安在你們心里作主。你們也為此蒙召,歸為一體。且要存感謝的心。
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
3:16 當用各樣的智慧,把基督的道里,豐豐富富的存在心里,(或作當把基督的道里豐豐富富的存在心里以各樣的智慧)用詩章,頌詞,靈歌,彼此教導,互相勸戒,心被恩感歌頌神。
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.
3:17 無論作什么,或說話,或行事,都要奉主耶穌的名,藉著他感謝父神。
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.
3:18 你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,這在主里面是相宜的。
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
3:19 你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,不可苦待他們。
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
3:20 你們作兒女的,要凡事聽從父母,因為這是主所喜悅的。
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
3:21 你們作父親的,不要惹兒女的氣,恐怕他們失去志氣。
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
3:22 你們作仆人的,要凡事聽從你們肉身的主人,不要只在眼前事奉,像是討人喜歡的,總要存心誠實敬畏主。
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
3:23 無論作什么,都要從心里作,像是給主作的,不是給人作的。
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
3:24 因你們知道從主那里,必得著基業為賞賜。你們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.
3:25 那行不義的,必受不義的報應。主不偏待人。
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
