歌羅西書

所以你們若真與基督一同復活，就當求在上面的事；那裡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.

你們要思念那上面的事，不要思念地上的事。

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

因為你們已經死了，你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裡面。

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

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裡。

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

所以你們既是神的選民，聖潔蒙愛的人，就要存憐憫、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;

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.

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.

又要叫基督的平安在你們心裡作主；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.

當用各樣的智慧，把基督的道理豐豐富富地存在心裡，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.

無論做什麼，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.
