1 If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,
1 SI habéis pues resucitado con Cristo, buscad las cosas de arriba, donde está Cristo sentado á la diestra de Dios.
2 the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,
2 Poned la mira en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra.
3 for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;
3 Porque muertos sois, y vuestra vida está escondida con Cristo en Dios.
4 when the Christ — our life — may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.
4 Cuando Cristo, vuestra vida, se manifestare, entonces vosotros también seréis manifestados con él en gloria.
5 Put to death, then, your members that [are] upon the earth — whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry —
5 Amortiguad, pues, vuestros miembros que están sobre la tierra: fornicación, inmundicia, molicie, mala concupiscencia, y avaricia, que es idolatría:
6 because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,
6 Por las cuales cosas la ira de Dios viene sobre los hijos de rebelión.
7 in which also ye — ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;
7 En las cuales vosotros también anduvisteis en otro tiempo viviendo en ellas.
8 but now put off, even ye, the whole — anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking — out of your mouth.
8 Mas ahora, dejad también vosotros todas estas cosas: ira, enojo, malicia, maledicencia, torpes palabras de vuestra boca.
9 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,
9 No mintáis los unos á los otros, habiéndoos despojado del viejo hombre con sus hechos,
10 and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;
10 Y revestídoos del nuevo, el cual por el conocimiento es renovado conforme á la imagen del que lo crió;
11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman — but the all and in all — Christ.
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 choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,
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 each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you — so also 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 above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,
14 Y sobre todas estas cosas [vestíos de] caridad, la cual es el vínculo de la perfección.
15 and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become 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 Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;
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 all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, [do] all things in the name of the Lord Jesus — giving thanks to the God and Father, through 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 The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord;
18 Casadas, estad sujetas á vuestros maridos, como conviene en el Señor.
19 the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them;
19 Maridos, amad á vuestras mujeres, y no seáis desapacibles con ellas.
20 the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;
20 Hijos, obedeced á vuestros padres en todo; porque esto agrada al Señor.
21 the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.
21 Padres, no irritéis á vuestros hijos, porque no se hagan de poco ánimo.
22 The servants! obey in all things those who are masters according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;
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 and all, whatever ye may do — out of soul work — as 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 having known that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance — for the Lord Christ ye serve;
24 Sabiendo que del Señor recibiréis la compensación de la herencia: porque al Señor Cristo servís.
25 and he who is doing unrighteously shall receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no acceptance 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.
