* 第 3 章
§2
* 西3:1 所以，你们若真与基督一同复活，就当求在上面的事；那里有基督坐在上帝的右边。
§3
*If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
§4
* 西3:2 你们要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。
§5
*Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
§6
* 西3:3 因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在上帝里面。
§7
*For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
§8
* 西3:4 基督是我们的生命，他显现的时候，你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。
§9
*When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
§10
* 西3:5 所以，要治死你们在地上的肢体，就如淫乱、污秽、邪情、恶欲，和贪婪（贪婪就与拜偶像一样）。
§11
*Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
§12
* 西3:6 因这些事，上帝的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子。
§13
*For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
§14
* 西3:7 当你们在这些事中活着的时候，也曾这样行过。
§15
*In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
§16
* 西3:8 但现在你们要弃绝这一切的事，以及恼恨、忿怒、恶毒（或作：阴毒）、毁谤，并口中污秽的言语。
§17
*But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
§18
* 西3:9 不要彼此说谎；因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为，
§19
*Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
§20
* 西3:10 穿上了新人。这新人在知识上渐渐更新，正如造他主的形象。
§21
*And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
§22
* 西3:11 在此并不分希利尼人、犹太人，受割礼的、未受割礼的，化外人，西古提人，为奴的、自主的，惟有基督是包括一切，又住在各人之内。
§23
*Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
§24
* 西3:12 所以，你们既是上帝的选民，圣洁蒙爱的人，就要存（原文作穿；下同）怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。
§25
*Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
§26
* 西3:13 倘若这人与那人有嫌隙，总要彼此包容，彼此饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要怎样饶恕人。
§27
*Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
§28
* 西3:14 在这一切之外，要存着爱心，爱心就是联络全德的。
§29
*And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
§30
* 西3:15 又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主；你们也为此蒙召，归为一体；且要存感谢的心。
§31
*And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
§32
* 西3:16 当用各样的智慧，把基督的道理丰丰富富的存在心里，（或作：当把基督的道理丰丰富富的存在心里，以各样的智慧），用诗章、颂词、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感，歌颂上帝。
§33
*Let 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.
§34
* 西3:17 无论做什么，或说话或行事，都要奉主耶稣的名，藉着他感谢父上帝。
§35
*And 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.
§36
* 基督徒在家庭中的责任
§37
* 西3:18 你们作妻子的，当顺服自己的丈夫，这在主里面是相宜的。
§38
*Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
§39
* 西3:19 你们作丈夫的，要爱你们的妻子，不可苦待她们。
§40
*Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
§41
* 西3:20 你们作儿女的，要凡事听从父母，因为这是主所喜悦的。
§42
*Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
§43
* 西3:21 你们作父亲的，不要惹儿女的气，恐怕他们失了志气。
§44
*Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
§45
* 西3:22 你们作仆人的，要凡事听从你们肉身的主人，不要只在眼前事奉，像是讨人喜欢的，总要存心诚实敬畏主。
§46
*Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
§47
* 西3:23 无论做什么，都要从心里做，像是给主做的，不是给人做的，
§48
*And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
§49
* 西3:24 因你们知道从主那里必得着基业为赏赐；你们所事奉的乃是主基督。
§50
*Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
§51
* 西3:25 那行不义的必受不义的报应；主并不偏待人。
§52
*But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
