| 3:1 | 所以，你們若真與基督一同復活，就當求在上面的事；那裏有基督坐在神的右邊。
[NASB] Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. |
| 3:2 | 你們要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。
[NASB] Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. |
| 3:3 | 因為你們已經死了，你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裏面。
[NASB] For you have died and your life is hidden 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裏。
[NASB] When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed 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、惡慾，和貪婪（貪婪就與拜偶像一樣）。
[NASB] Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. |
| 3:6 | 因這些事，神的忿怒必臨到那悖逆之子。
[NASB] For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, |
| 3:7 | 當你們在這些事中活著的時候，也曾這樣行過。
[NASB] and in them you also once walked, when you were living 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，並口中污穢的言語。
[NASB] But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, {and} abusive speech from 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，
[NASB] Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its {evil} practices, |
| 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。
[NASB] and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him-- |
| 3:11 | 在此並不分希臘人、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。
[NASB] {a renewal} in which there is no {distinction between} Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all. |
| 3:12 | 所以，你們既是神的選民，聖潔蒙愛的人，就要存（原文是穿；下同）憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔、忍耐的心。
[NASB] So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; |
| 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。
[NASB] bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. |
| 3:14 | 在這一切之外，要存著愛心，愛心就是聯絡全德的。
[NASB] Beyond all these things {put on} love, which is the perfect bond of unity. |
| 3:15 | 又要叫基督的平安在你們心裏作主；你們也為此蒙召，歸為一體；且要存感謝的心。
[NASB] Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. |
| 3:16 | 當用各樣的智慧，把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裏，（或作：當把基督的道理豐豐富富地存在心裏，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。
[NASB] Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms {and} hymns {and} spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. |
| 3:17 | 無論做甚麼，或說話或行事，都要奉主耶穌的名，藉著他感謝父神。
[NASB] Whatever you do in word or deed, {do} all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. |
| 過新人的生活 |
| 3:18 | 你們作妻子的，當順服自己的丈夫，這在主裏面是相宜的。
[NASB] Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
| 3:19 | 你們作丈夫的，要愛你們的妻子，不可苦待他們。
[NASB] Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered 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。
[NASB] Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord. |
| 3:21 | 你們作父親的，不要惹兒女的氣，恐怕他們失了志氣。
[NASB] Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart. |
| 3:22 | 你們作僕人的，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。
[NASB] Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who {merely} please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. |
| 3:23 | 無論做甚麼，都要從心裏做，像是給主做的，不是給人做的，
[NASB] Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, |
| 3:24 | 因你們知道從主那裏必得著基業為賞賜；你們所事奉的乃是主基督。
[NASB] knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. |
| 3:25 | 那行不義的必受不義的報應；主並不偏待人。
[NASB] For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality. |
