¹If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

¹Če ste torej bili obujeni s Kristusom vred, iščite, kar je gori, kjer je Kristus, sedeč na desnici Božji.

²Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

²V mislih imejte, kar je gori, ne, kar je na zemlji.

³For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

³Kajti umrli ste, in življenje vaše je skrito s Kristusom v Bogu.

⁴When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

⁴Kadar se prikaže Kristus, ki je življenje naše, tedaj se prikažete tudi vi ž njim v slavi.

⁵Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

⁵Morite torej ude svoje, ki so na zemlji: nesramnost, nečistost, strast, hudo poželenje in lakomnost, ki je malikovanje,

⁶For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

⁶zavoljo katerih grehov prihaja jeza Božja nad sinove nepokorščine,

⁷In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

⁷ki ste med njimi tudi vi hodili nekdaj, ko ste živeli v teh grehih.

⁸But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

⁸Sedaj pa odložite tudi vi vse to: jezo, srd, hudobnost, preklinjanje, nečedno besedovanje iz svojih ust;

⁹Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

⁹ne lažite drug drugemu; ker ste slekli starega človeka z dejanji njegovimi

¹⁰And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

¹⁰in oblekli novega, ki se obnavlja v spoznanje po podobi njega, ki ga je ustvaril;

¹¹Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

¹¹kjer ni Grka in Juda, obreze in neobreze, tujca, Scita [T. j. surov divjak.], hlapca, svobodnega, marveč vse in v vseh Kristus.

¹²Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

¹²Oblecite torej kot izvoljeni Božji, sveti in ljubljeni, srčno usmiljenje, blagovoljnost, ponižnost, krotkost, potrpežljivost;

¹³Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

¹³prenašajte drug drugega in si odpuščajte, če ima kdo tožbo zoper koga, kakor je tudi Kristus odpustil vam, tako tudi vi;

¹⁴And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

¹⁴vrhu vsega tega pa oblecite ljubezen, ki je popolnosti vez.

¹⁵And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

¹⁵In mir Kristusov naj vlada v srcih vaših, ki ste bili vanj tudi poklicani v enem telesu; in hvaležni bodite.

¹⁶Let 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.

¹⁶Beseda Kristusova prebivaj v vas obilno z vso modrostjo; učite in opominjajte se med seboj s psalmi in hvalospevi in pesmami duhovnimi, v milosti pojoč v srcu svojem Bogu.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷In vse, kar počenjate v besedi in dejanju, vse delajte v imenu Gospoda Jezusa, zahvaljujoč Boga Očeta po njem.

¹⁸Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

¹⁸Žene, bodite pokorne svojim možem, kakor se spodobi, v Gospodu.

¹⁹Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

¹⁹Možje, ljubite žene svoje in ne bodite osorni proti njim.

²⁰Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

²⁰Otroci, bodite poslušni roditeljem v vsem, kajti to je ugodljivo v Gospodu.

²¹Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

²¹Očetje, ne dražite otrok svojih, da ne bodo malosrčni.

²²Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;

²²Hlapci, bodite poslušni v vsem gospodarjem po mesu, ne služite le na oko, kakor ljudem ugajajoč, temuč v preprostosti srca, boječ se Gospoda.

²³And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

²³Vse, kar storite, delajte iz duše, kakor Gospodu in ne ljudem,

²⁴Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

²⁴vedoč, da od Gospoda prejmete povračilo dediščine; Gospodu Kristusu hlapčujete.Krivičnik pa prejme, kar je krivičnega storil; in ni ga licegledja pri Bogu.

²⁵But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

²⁵Krivičnik pa prejme, kar je krivičnega storil; in ni ga licegledja pri Bogu.
