Si habéis, pues, resucitado con Cristo^a, buscad las cosas de arriba, donde está Cristo sentado a la diestra de Dios^b. 2 Poned la mira¹ en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra^a. 3 Porque habéis muerto, y vuestra vida está escondida con Cristo^a en Dios. 4 Cuando Cristo, nuestra¹ vida^a, sea manifestado, entonces vosotros también seréis manifestados con Él en gloria^b.

5 Por tanto, considerad los miembros de vuestro cuerpo terrenal^a como muertos¹ a la fornicación, la impureza, las pasiones, los malos deseos y la avaricia, que es idolatría^b. 6 Pues la ira de Dios vendrá sobre los hijos de desobediencia¹ por causa de estas cosas^a, 7 en las cuales vosotros también anduvisteis^a en otro tiempo cuando vivíais en ellas. 8 Pero ahora desechad también vosotros todas estas cosas^a: ira, enojo, malicia, maledicencia^b, lenguaje soez de vuestra boca^c. 9 No mintáis^1a los unos a los otros, puesto que habéis desechado al viejo hombre^b con sus malos hábitos, 10 y os habéis vestido del nuevo hombre, el cual se va renovando^a hacia un verdadero conocimiento, conforme a la imagen^b de aquel que lo creó^c; 11 una renovación en la cual no hay distinción entre griego y judío^a, circunciso e incircunciso^1b, bárbaro^2c, escita³, esclavo o libre^d, sino que Cristo es todo, y en todos^e.

12 Entonces, como escogidos^a de Dios, santos y amados, revestíos^b de tierna compasión, bondad^c, humildad, mansedumbre y paciencia^1d; 13 soportándoos unos a otros^a y perdonándoos unos a otros, si alguno tiene queja contra otro; como Cristo os perdonó, así también hacedlo vosotros^b. 14 Y sobre todas estas cosas, vestíos de amor, que es el vínculo^1a de la unidad^2b. 15 Y que la paz de Cristo¹ reine² en vuestros corazones^a, a la cual en verdad³ fuisteis llamados en un solo cuerpo^b; y sed agradecidos. 16 Que la palabra de Cristo^1a habite en abundancia en vosotros, con toda sabiduría enseñándoos y amonestándoos unos a otros^b con salmos, himnos y canciones espirituales^c, cantando^d a Dios con acción de gracias² en vuestros corazones. 17 Y todo lo que hacéis, de palabra o de hecho, hacedlo todo en el nombre del Señor Jesús^a, dando gracias por medio de Él a Dios el Padre^b.

18 ^aMujeres, estad sujetas a vuestros maridos^b, como conviene en el Señor. 19 Maridos, amad a vuestras¹ mujeres^a y no seáis ásperos² con ellas. 20 Hijos, sed obedientes a vuestros padres en todo, porque esto es agradable al¹ Señor^a. 21 Padres, no exasperéis¹ a vuestros hijos^a, para que no se desalienten. 22 Siervos¹, obedeced en todo a vuestros² amos en la tierra^3a, no para ser vistos⁴, como los que quieren agradar a los hombres, sino con sinceridad de corazón, temiendo al Señor^b. 23 Y todo lo que hagáis, hacedlo de corazón, como para el Señor y no para los hombres^a, 24 sabiendo que del Señor recibiréis la recompensa^a de la herencia^b. Es a Cristo el Señor a quien servís^c. 25 Porque el que procede con injusticia sufrirá las consecuencias del mal que ha cometido^a, y eso, sin acepción de personas^b.

Therefore, if you have been ^araised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, ^bseated at the right hand of God. 2 ^1aSet your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you have ^adied, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, ^awho is our life, is revealed, ^bthen you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

5 ^aTherefore, ¹treat ^bthe parts of your earthly body as dead to ^csexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which ²amounts to idolatry. 6 For it is because of these things that ^athe wrath of God is coming ¹upon the ²sons of disobedience, 7 and ^ain them you also once walked, when you were living ¹in them. 8 But now you also, ^arid yourselves of all of them: ^banger, wrath, malice, slander, and ^cobscene speech from your mouth. 9 ^1aDo not lie to one another, since you ^bstripped off the old ²self with its evil practices, 10 and have ^aput on the new self, which is being ^1brenewed to a true knowledge ^caccording to the image of the One who ^dcreated it— 11 a renewal in which ^athere is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^bcircumcised and uncircumcised, ^1cbarbarian, ²Scythian, ^dslave, and free, but ^eChrist is all, and in all.

12 So, as those who have been ^achosen of God, holy and beloved, ^bput on a ^cheart of compassion, kindness, ^dhumility, gentleness, and ^1epatience; 13 ^abearing with one another, and ^bforgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; ^cjust as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. 14 In addition to all these things put on love, which is ^1athe perfect bond of ^bunity. 15 Let ^athe peace of Christ, to which you were ¹indeed called in ^bone body, ²rule in your hearts; and ³be thankful. 16 Let ^athe word of ¹Christ richly dwell within you, ²with all wisdom ^bteaching and admonishing ³one another ^cwith psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, ^dsinging with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 ^aWhatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^bgiving thanks through Him to God the Father.

18 ^aWives, ^bbe subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 ^aHusbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them. 20 ^aChildren, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing ¹to the Lord. 21 ^aFathers, do not ¹antagonize your children, so that they will not become discouraged.

22 ^1aSlaves, obey those who are your ²human masters in everything, ^bnot with ³eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, do your work ¹heartily, ^aas for the Lord and not for people, 24 ^aknowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward ¹of ^bthe inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you ^cserve. 25 For ^athe one who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and ^1bthat without partiality.

Therefore if you have been ^araised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, ^bseated at the right hand of God. 2 ^1aSet your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you have ^adied and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, ^awho is our life, is revealed, ^bthen you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

5 ^aTherefore ¹consider ^bthe members of your earthly body as dead to ^2cimmorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which ³amounts to idolatry. 6 For it is because of these things that ^athe wrath of God will come ¹upon the sons of disobedience, 7 and ^ain them you also once walked, when you were living ¹in them. 8 But now you also, ^aput them all aside: ^banger, wrath, malice, slander, and ^cabusive speech from your mouth. 9 ^1aDo not lie to one another, since you ^blaid aside the old ²self with its evil practices, 10 and have ^aput on the new self who is being ^1brenewed to a true knowledge ^caccording to the image of the One who ^dcreated him— 11 a renewal in which ^athere is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^bcircumcised and uncircumcised, ^1cbarbarian, Scythian, ^dslave and freeman, but ^eChrist is all, and in all.

12 So, as those who have been ^achosen of God, holy and beloved, ^bput on a ^cheart of compassion, kindness, ^dhumility, gentleness and ^1epatience; 13 ^abearing with one another, and ^bforgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; ^cjust as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things put on love, which is ^1athe perfect bond of ^bunity. 15 Let ^athe peace of Christ ¹rule in your hearts, to which ²indeed you were called in ^bone body; and ³be thankful. 16 Let ^athe word of ¹Christ richly dwell within you, ²with all wisdom ^bteaching and admonishing ³one another ^cwith psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ^dsinging ⁴with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 ^aWhatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^bgiving thanks through Him to God the Father.

18 ^aWives, ^bbe subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 ^aHusbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. 20 ^aChildren, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing ¹to the Lord. 21 ^aFathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

22 ^aSlaves, in all things obey those who are your masters ¹on earth, ^bnot with ²external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, do your work ¹heartily, ^aas for the Lord ²rather than for men, 24 ^aknowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward ¹of ^bthe inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you ^cserve. 25 For ^ahe who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and ^1bthat without partiality.
