1 If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:
1 SI habéis pues resucitado con Cristo, buscad las cosas de arriba, donde está Cristo sentado á la diestra de Dios.
2 have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;
2 Poned la mira en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra.
3 for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.
3 Porque muertos sois, y vuestra vida está escondida con Cristo en Dios.
4 When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.
4 Cuando Cristo, vuestra vida, se manifestare, entonces vosotros también seréis manifestados con él en gloria.
5 Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.
5 Amortiguad, pues, vuestros miembros que están sobre la tierra: fornicación, inmundicia, molicie, mala concupiscencia, y avaricia, que es idolatría:
6 On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
6 Por las cuales cosas la ira de Dios viene sobre los hijos de rebelión.
7 In which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.
7 En las cuales vosotros también anduvisteis en otro tiempo viviendo en ellas.
8 But now, put off, ye also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.
8 Mas ahora, dejad también vosotros todas estas cosas: ira, enojo, malicia, maledicencia, torpes palabras de vuestra boca.
9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
9 No mintáis los unos á los otros, habiéndoos despojado del viejo hombre con sus hechos,
10 and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;
10 Y revestídoos del nuevo, el cual por el conocimiento es renovado conforme á la imagen del que lo crió;
11 wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.
11 Donde no hay Griego ni Judío, circuncisión ni incircuncisión, bárbaro [ni] Scytha, siervo [ni] libre; mas Cristo es el todo, y en todos.
12 Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
12 Vestíos pues, como escogidos de Dios, santos y amados, de entrañas de misericordia, de benignidad, de humildad, de mansedumbre, de tolerancia;
13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.
13 Sufriéndoos los unos á los otros, y perdonándoos los unos á los otros si alguno tuviere queja del otro: de la manera que Cristo os perdonó, así también hacedlo vosotros.
14 And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
14 Y sobre todas estas cosas [vestíos de] caridad, la cual es el vínculo de la perfección.
15 And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.
15 Y la paz de Dios gobierne en vuestros corazones, á la cual asimismo sois llamados en un cuerpo; y sed agradecidos.
16 Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
16 La palabra de Cristo habite en vosotros en abundancia en toda sabiduría, enseñándoos y exhortándoos los unos á los otros con salmos é himnos y canciones espirituales, con gracia cantando en vuestros corazones al Señor.
17 And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
17 Y todo lo que hacéis, sea de palabra, ó de hecho, [hacedlo] todo en el nombre del Señor Jesús, dando gracias á Dios Padre por él.
18 Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.
18 Casadas, estad sujetas á vuestros maridos, como conviene en el Señor.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
19 Maridos, amad á vuestras mujeres, y no seáis desapacibles con ellas.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.
20 Hijos, obedeced á vuestros padres en todo; porque esto agrada al Señor.
21 Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.
21 Padres, no irritéis á vuestros hijos, porque no se hagan de poco ánimo.
22 Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.
22 Siervos, obedeced en todo á vuestros amos carnales, no sirviendo al ojo, como los que agradan á los hombres, sino con sencillez de corazón, temiendo á Dios:
23 Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;
23 Y todo lo que hagáis, hacedlo de ánimo, como al Señor, y no á los hombres;
24 knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.
24 Sabiendo que del Señor recibiréis la compensación de la herencia: porque al Señor Cristo servís.
25 For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
25 Mas el que hace injuria, recibirá la injuria que hiciere; que no hay acepción de personas.

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.
