3:1 所以你们若与基督一同复活，就当寻求在上面的事，那里有基督坐在神的右边。
If therefore you were raised together with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
3:2 你们要思念在上面的事，不要思念在地上的事。
Set your mind on the things which are above, not on the things which are on the earth.
3:3 因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
3:4 基督是我们的生命，祂显现的时候，你们也要与祂一同显现在荣耀里。
When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory.
3:5 所以要治死你们在地上的肢体，就是淫乱、污秽、邪情、恶欲和贪婪，贪婪就是拜偶像，
Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry;
3:6 因这些事，神的忿怒正临到那悖逆之子。
Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;
3:7 当你们在这些事中活着的时候，也曾在其间行事为人过。
In which you also once walked, when you lived in these things.
3:8 但现在你们要脱去这一切的事，就是忿怒、恼恨、恶毒、毁谤，并你们口中所出可耻的秽语。
But now, you also, put away all these things: wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, foul abusive language out of your mouth.
3:9 不要彼此说谎，因你们已经脱去旧人，同旧人的行为，
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his practices.
3:10 并且穿上了新人；这新人照着创造他者的形像渐渐更新，以致有充足的知识；
And have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto full knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,
3:11 在此并没有希利尼人和犹太人、受割礼的和未受割礼的、化外人、西古提人、为奴的、自主的，惟有基督是一切，又在一切之内。
Where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all and in all.
3:12 所以你们既是神的选民，圣别蒙爱的人，就要穿上怜恤的心肠、恩慈、卑微、温柔、恒忍。
Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, inward parts of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, long-suffering;
3:13 倘若这人与那人有嫌隙，总要彼此容忍，彼此饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要怎样饶恕人。
Bearing one another and forgiving one another, if anyone should have a complaint against anyone; even as the Lord forgave you, so also should you forgive.
3:14 在这一切之上，还要穿上爱，爱是全德的联索。
And over all these things put on love, which is the uniting bond of perfectness.
3:15 又要让基督的平安在你们心里作仲裁，你们在一个身体里蒙召，也是为了这平安；且要感恩。
And let the peace of Christ arbitrate in your hearts, to which also you were called in one Body; and be thankful.
3:16 当用各样的智慧，让基督的话丰丰富富的住在你们里面，用诗章、颂辞、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感歌颂神；
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
3:17 凡你们所作的，无论是什么，或说话，或行事，都要在主耶稣的名里，藉着祂感谢父神。
And whatever you do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
