This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

3 Therefore if you _all _were _raised _up _with with _the chosen _one /messiah, be _seeking the things above, where the chosen _one /messiah is sitting at the_right hand of_ the _god.

2 Be _thinking the things above, not the things on the earth.

3 For/Because you _all _died _off, and the life of _you _all has _been _hidden with the chosen _one /messiah in the god.

4 Whenever the chosen _one /messiah, the life of _you _all, may _be _revealed, then you _all also will _be _being _revealed with him in glory.

5 Therefore make _dead your members which are on the earth:
sexual _immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greediness, which is idolatry,

6 because _of which things the severe _anger of_ the _god, is _coming,

7 among whom you _all also walked once when you _all _were _living in these things.

8 But right _now you _all also put _away all the things:
severe _anger, rage, malice, slander, profanity out _of the mouth of _you _all.

9 Be_ not _lying to one _another, having _disarmed the old person with the practices of _him,

10 and having _dressed _in the new man, which being _renewed in knowledge, according _to the_image of _the one having _created him,

11 where there _is not Hellaʸn and Youdaios, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Skuthaʸs, slave, free, but chosen _one /messiah is all things and in all things.

12 Therefore as the_chosen of_ the _god, holy ones and having _been _loved, dress _in hearts of _compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience,

13 tolerating of _one _another and forgiving to _yourselves, if anyone may _be _having a_complaint against anyone, as also the master forgave to _you _all, thus also you _all forgive.

14 And over all these things, the put _on love, which is the_bond of_ the _perfection.

15 And the peace of _the chosen _one /messiah let _be _deciding in the hearts of _you _all, to which also you _all _were _called in one body, and be _becoming thankful.

16 let_ The message of _the chosen _one /messiah _be _Dwelling _in in you _all richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in _psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with the thankfulness in the hearts of _you _all the to_god.

17 And everything, whatever anything if you _all _may _be _doing in message or in work, all things in the_name of_the_master Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) do, giving _thanks to_ the _god the_father through him.

18 The Wives, be _being _subjected to _your husbands, as was _fitting in the_master.

19 The Husbands, be _loving your wives, and be_ not _being _embittered toward them.

20 The Children, be _submitting to _your parents in all things, because/for this is well _pleasing in the_master.

21 The fathers, not be _provoking the children of _you _all, in _order _that they _may_ not _be _losing _heart.

22 The Slaves, be _submitting to _your masters in all things according _to flesh, not with eyeservice as men _pleasing, but in sincerity of _heart, revering the master.

23 Whatever if you _all _may _be _doing, be _working with ^your_heart, as to _the master and not to _people,

24 having _known that you _all _will _be _taking _back from the_master the repaying of _your inheritance.
For/Because_ you _all _are _serving _the master chosen _one /messiah.

25 The one for doing _wrong, will _be _receiving _back what he _did _wrong, and there _is not favouritism.
