QOLASIM 3

1 If, then, you were raised with Mashiaḥ, seek those which are above, where Mashiaḥ is, seated at the right hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

2 Mind those above, not those on the earth.

3 For you have died, and your ḥai has been hidden with Mashiaḥ in Elohim.

4 When ha’Mashiaḥ, who is our ḥai, is manifested, then you also shall be manifested with Him in esteem.

5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: whoring, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and greed of gain, which is idolatry.

6 Because of these the wrath of Elohim is coming upon the sons of disobedience,

7 in which you also once walked when you lived in them.

8 But now, also put off all these: displeasure, wrath, evil, blasphemy, filthy talk from your mouth.

9 Do not lie to each other, since you have put off the old man with his practices,

10 and have put on the new one who is renewed in knowledge according to the likeness of Him who created him,

11 where there is not Yawanite and Yahuḏi, circumcised and uncircumcised, foreigner, Skuthian, slave, free, but Mashiaḥ is all, and in all.

12 Therefore, as chosen ones of Elohim, qodesh and beloved, put on compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, patience,

13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other if anyone has a complaint against another, indeed, as Mashiaḥ forgave you so also should you.

14 But above all these, love, which is a bond of the perfection.

15 And let the peace of Elohim rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one Body, and be filled with thanks.

16 Let the Word of Mashiaḥ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing with pleasure in your hearts to the Aḏon in tehillim and songs of praise and spiritual songs.

17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏, giving thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Father through Him.

18 Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as is proper in the Aḏon.

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

20 Children, obey your parents in all, for this is well-pleasing to the Aḏon.

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

22 Servants, obey your masters according to the flesh in all respects, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, revering Elohim.

23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Aḏon and not to men,

24 knowing that from the Aḏon you shall receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Aḏon, Mashiaḥ, you serve.

25 But he who does wrong shall be repaid for the wrong which he has done, and there is no partiality.
