1.1 1.2 1.3
3 If, however, you were raised up with the Christ,+ go on seeking the things above, where the Christ is seated at the right hand of God.+2 Keep your minds fixed on the things above,+ not on the things on the earth.+3 For you died, and your life has been hidden with the Christ in union with God.4 When the Christ, our life,+ is made manifest, then you also will be made manifest with him in glory.+5 Deaden, therefore, your body members+ that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality,* uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion,+ hurtful desire, and greediness, which is idolatry.6 On account of those things the wrath of God is coming.7 That is how you too used to conduct yourselves* in your former way of life.*+8 But now you must put them all away from you: wrath, anger, badness,+ abusive speech,+ and obscene talk+ out of your mouth.9 Do not lie to one another.+ Strip off the old personality*+ with its practices,10 and clothe yourselves with the new personality,+ which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it,+11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, foreigner, Scyth′i·an,* slave, or freeman; but Christ is all things and in all.+12 Accordingly, as God’s chosen ones,+ holy and loved, clothe yourselves with the tender affections of compassion,+ kindness, humility,*+ mildness,+ and patience.+13 Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely+ even if anyone has a cause for complaint against another.+ Just as Jehovah* freely forgave you, you must also do the same.+14 But besides all these things, clothe yourselves with love,+ for it is a perfect bond of union.+15 Also, let the peace of the Christ rule in your hearts,*+ for you were called to that peace in one body. And show yourselves thankful.16 Let the word of the Christ reside in you richly in all wisdom. Keep on teaching and encouraging* one another with psalms,+ praises to God, spiritual songs sung with gratitude,* singing in your hearts to Jehovah.*+17 Whatever it is that you do in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him.+18 You wives, be in subjection to your husbands,+ as it is becoming in the Lord.19 You husbands, keep on loving your wives+ and do not be bitterly angry* with them.+20 You children, be obedient to your parents in everything,+ for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.21 You fathers, do not be exasperating* your children,+ so that they do not become downhearted.*22 You slaves, be obedient in everything to those who are your human* masters,+ not only when they are watching, just to please men,* but with sincerity of heart, with fear of Jehovah.*23 Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled* as for Jehovah,*+ and not for men,24 for you know that it is from Jehovah* you will receive the inheritance as a reward.+ Slave for the Master, Christ.25 Certainly the one who does wrong will be repaid for the wrong he has done,+ and there is no partiality.+

3 No ako ste uskrsnuti+ s Kristom, tražite ono što je na nebu,+ gdje Krist sjedi zdesna Bogu.+2 Mislite na ono što je na nebu,+ a ne na ono što je na zemlji.+3 Jer umrli ste+ i vaš je život+ sakriven s Kristom u zajedništvu+ s Bogom.4 Kada se pokaže Krist, naš život,+ tada ćete se i vi s njim pokazati+ u slavi.+5 Usmrtite,+ dakle, ono što je zemaljsko u udovima vašim:+ blud, nečistoću, spolnu požudu,+ zlu želju i lakomost,+ koja je idolopoklonstvo.6 Zbog toga dolazi srdžba Božja.+7 Tim ste putem i vi nekad hodili, kad ste u tome živjeli.+8 Ali sada odbacite sve ovo:+ srdžbu, gnjev, zloću, pogrdan govor,+ a proste riječi+ neka ne izlaze iz vaših usta.9 Ne lažite jedni drugima.+ Svucite staru osobnost+ i njezina djela,10 a obucite novu+ osobnost, koja se obnavlja dobrim poznavanjem* Božje volje po slici+ onoga koji ju je stvorio.11 Tu više nema ni Grka ni Židova, ni obrezanja ni neobrezanja, ni tuđinca, ni Skita,* ni roba, ni slobodnjaka,+ nego je Krist sve i u svima.+12 Dakle, kao izabranici Božji,+ sveti i ljubljeni, obucite se u najdublju samilost,+ dobrostivost, poniznost,+ blagost+ i dugotrpljivost.+13 Podnosite jedni druge i spremno opraštajte jedni drugima+ ako tko ima pritužbu+ na koga. Kao što je Jehova spremno oprostio vama,+ tako činite i vi.14 A povrh svega, obucite se u ljubav,+ jer vas ona savršeno povezuje.*+15 I neka mir+ Kristov vlada u srcima vašim,+ mir na koji ste i pozvani u jednome tijelu.+ I budite zahvalni!16 Neka vas riječ Kristova potpuno ispuni svom mudrošću.+ Poučavajte+ i opominjite jedan drugoga psalmima,+ hvalospjevima Bogu, ugodnim duhovnim pjesmama.+ Pjevajte Jehovi+ u svojim srcima.17 I sve što god činite riječju ili djelom,+ sve činite u ime Gospodina Isusa,+ zahvaljujući+ preko njega Bogu, Ocu.18 Žene, budite podložne+ svojim muževima, kao što dolikuje u Gospodinu.19 Muževi, ljubite svoje žene+ i nemojte se gnjeviti na njih.+20 Djeco, slušajte+ svoje roditelje u svemu, jer je to ugodno u Gospodinu.21 Očevi, ne ogorčujte svoju djecu,+ da ne postanu malodušna.22 Robovi, u svemu slušajte svoje zemaljske gospodare,+ ne samo kad vas se gleda, kao oni koji ugađaju ljudima,+ nego iskrena srca, u strahu Jehovinu.+23 Što god radite, činite to cijelom dušom+ kao Jehovi,+ a ne kao ljudima,24 znajući da ćete od Jehove+ dobiti primjerenu nagradu — nasljedstvo.+ Robujte Gospodaru, Kristu!+25 A tko čini nepravdu, uzvratit+ će mu se ono što je nepravedno učinio, jer Bog nije pristran.+ Bilješke ^ “Dobrim poznavanjem” (grčki: epígnosis) — vidi bilješku za Ri 1:28. ^ Ime “Skit” ovdje se koristi i kao općeniti naziv za ljude koje se smatralo zaostalima i neciviliziranima.
