1 Igitur, si consurrexistis cum Christo: quæ sursum sunt quærite, ubi Christus est in dextera Dei sedens: 2 quæ sursum sunt sapite, non quæ super terram. 3 Mortui enim estis, et vita vestra est abscondita cum Christo in Deo. 4 Cum Christus apparuerit, vita vestra: tunc et vos apparebitis cum ipso in gloria. 5 Mortificate ergo membra vestra, quæ sunt super terram: fornicationem, immunditiam, libidinem, concupiscentiam malam, et avaritiam, quæ est simulacrorum servitus: 6 propter quæ venit ira Dei super filios incredulitatis: 7 in quibus et vos ambulastis aliquando, cum viveretis in illis. 8 Nunc autem deponite et vos omnia: iram, indignationem, malitiam, blasphemiam, turpem sermonem de ore vestro. 9 Nolite mentiri invicem, expoliantes vos veterem hominem cum actibus suis, 10 et induentes novum eum, qui renovatur in agnitionem secundum imaginem ejus qui creavit illum: 11 ubi non est gentilis et Judæus, circumcisio et præputium, Barbarus et Scytha, servus et liber: sed omnia, et in omnibus Christus. 12 Induite vos ergo, sicut electi Dei, sancti, et dilecti, viscera misericordiæ, benignitatem, humilitatem, modestiam, patientiam: 13 supportantes invicem, et donantes vobismetipsis si quis adversus aliquem habet querelam: sicut et Dominus donavit vobis, ita et vos. 14 Super omnia autem hæc, caritatem habete, quod est vinculum perfectionis: 15 et pax Christi exsultet in cordibus vestris, in qua et vocati estis in uno corpore: et grati estote. 16 Verbum Christi habitet in vobis abundanter, in omni sapientia, docentes, et commonentes vosmetipsos, psalmis, hymnis, et canticis spiritualibus, in gratia cantantes in cordibus vestris Deo. 17 Omne, quodcumque facitis in verbo aut in opere, omnia in nomine Domini Jesu Christi, gratias agentes Deo et Patri per ipsum. 18 Mulieres, subditæ estote viris, sicut oportet, in Domino. 19 Viri, diligite uxores vestras, et nolite amari esse ad illas. 20 Filii, obedite parentibus per omnia: hoc enim placitum est in Domino. 21 Patres, nolite ad indignationem provocare filios vestros, ut non pusillo animo fiant. 22 Servi, obedite per omnia dominis carnalibus, non ad oculum servientes, quasi hominibus placentes, sed in simplicitate cordis, timentes Deum. 23 Quodcumque facitis, ex animo operamini sicut Domino, et non hominibus: 24 scientes quod a Domino accipietis retributionem hæreditatis. Domino Christo servite. 25 Qui enim injuriam facit, recipiet id quod inique gessit: et non est personarum acceptio apud Deum.

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).

  1. Commentary 3:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Colossians (Homily VIII)

    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?

  2. Quotes verse 3:5 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Preface)

    … 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 …

  3. Quotes verse 3:10 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VI)

    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 …

  4. Quotes verse 3:3 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XIV)

    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.

  5. Quotes verse 3:10 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (First Catechetical Lecture)

    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.
