1 Si, pues, ustedes han resucitado con Cristo, busquen las cosas de arriba, donde Cristo está sentado a la derecha de Dios.
1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2 Pongan la mente en las cosas de arriba, no en las cosas de la tierra.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3 Porque ustedes murieron, y su vida está escondida con Cristo en Dios.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 Cuando Cristo, nuestra vida, sea manifestado, entonces ustedes también serán manifestados con él en gloria.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5 Hagan morir, pues, lo terrenal en ustedes: inmoralidad sexual, impureza, pasión desordenada, malos deseos y avaricia, que es idolatría.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
6 Por estas cosas viene la ira de Dios sobre los hijos de desobediencia.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7 En esas cosas ustedes también anduvieron en otro tiempo, cuando vivían en ellas.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
8 Pero ahora desechen también todo esto: ira, enojo, malicia, insultos y palabras vergonzosas de su boca.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9 No se mientan unos a otros, ya que se han quitado el viejo hombre con sus obras
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10 y se han vestido del nuevo hombre, que se va renovando en conocimiento conforme a la imagen de su Creador.
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11 En esta nueva vida no hay griego ni judío, circuncidado ni incircunciso, extranjero, escita, esclavo ni libre; sino que Cristo es todo y está en todos.
11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Por tanto, como escogidos de Dios, santos y amados, vístanse de profunda compasión, bondad, humildad, mansedumbre y paciencia.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
13 Sopórtense unos a otros y perdónense unos a otros, si alguno tiene queja contra otro. Así como Cristo los perdonó, así también hagan ustedes.
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
14 Y sobre todas estas cosas, vístanse de amor, que es el vínculo perfecto.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 Que la paz de Cristo gobierne en sus corazones, pues a esa paz fueron llamados en un solo cuerpo. Y sean agradecidos.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
16 Que la palabra de Cristo habite en ustedes con abundancia. Enséñense y amonéstense unos a otros con toda sabiduría, cantando salmos, himnos y canciones espirituales, con gratitud en sus corazones a Dios.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
17 Y todo lo que hagan, de palabra o de hecho, háganlo todo en el nombre del Señor Jesús, dando gracias a Dios Padre por medio de él.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18 Esposas, sométanse a sus esposos, como conviene en el Señor.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Esposos, amen a sus esposas y no sean ásperos con ellas.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
20 Hijos, obedezcan a sus padres en todo, porque esto agrada al Señor.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Padres, no provoquen a sus hijos, para que no se desanimen.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
22 Siervos, obedezcan en todo a sus amos terrenales, no solo cuando los están mirando, como quienes quieren agradar a los hombres, sino con corazón sincero, temiendo al Señor.
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
23 Todo lo que hagan, háganlo de corazón, como para el Señor y no para los hombres.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
24 Sepan que del Señor recibirán la recompensa de la herencia, porque ustedes sirven al Señor Cristo.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
25 Pero el que hace mal recibirá el pago del mal que hizo, y no hay favoritismo.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
I know that many are offended by the foregoing discourse, but what can I do? ye heard what the Master enjoined. Am I to blame? what shall I do? See ye not the creditors, when debtors are obstinate, how they wear collars? Heard ye what Paul proclaimed today?

… of the flesh, and receiving the Holy Spirit; as the apostle says in the Epistle to the Colossians: "Mortify, therefore, your members which are upon the earth." And what these are he himself explains: "Fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence; and covetousness, which is idolatry." The laying aside of these is what the apostle preaches; and he declares that those …
But so soon as I understood, withal, that man made "after the image of Him that created him" was not so understood by Thy spiritual sons (whom of the Catholic mother Thou hadst begotten again through grace), as though they believed and imagined Thee to be bounded by human form,--although what was the nature of a spiritual substance I had …

As also in another place he said in clearer words, "Our life is hid with Christ in God." Be then of a good heart about it.

Put off, by confession, the old man, which waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit, that ye may put on the new man, which is renewed according to knowledge of Him that created him.
