1 Fa jaanong lo tsositswe le Keresete, batlang he tse di kwa godimo, kwa Keresete a leng teng, a ntse ka fa letsogong le le jang la Modimo.t 2 Gopolang dilo tse di kwa godimo, e seng tse di mo lefatsheng;t 3 gonne lo sule, mme botshelo jwa lona bo fitlhegile le Keresete mo Modimong.t

8 Mme jaanong le lona, latlhang tsotlhe tseo, e bong bogale le kgakalo le bosula le kgalo; mme dipuo tsa ditlhong di se tlhole di tswa mo melomong ya lona.t 9 Se aketsanyeng, ka lo apotse motho yo mogologolo le ditiro tsa gagwe,t 10 mme lo apere motho yo mošwa yo o ntšhwafalediwang kitso ka fa setshwanong sa ona o o mo tlhodileng,t

12 Jaanong he, lona ba lo leng batlhaolwi ba Modimo, le baitshepi le barategi, aparang kutlwelo-botlhoko ya pelo le bopelontle le boikokobetso le bonolo le bopelotelele;t 13 lo itshokelane, lo itshwarelane fa mongwe a ledisiwa ke molato wa yo mongwe; itshwareleng jaaka Morena le ene a lo itshwaretse.t 14 Mo godimo ga tsotlhe tseo lo apare lorato lo e leng sebofo sa botlalo.t 15 A kagiso ya ga Keresete e laole mo dipelong tsa lona e lo e bileditsweng mo mmeleng o le mongwe fela, mme lo nne ba ba lebogang.t 16 A Lefoko la ga Keresete le age mo go lona segolo ka botlhale jotlhe, lo rutane, lo kgothatsanye ka dipesalome le difela tsa pako le dikopelo tsa mowa, lo opelele Modimo ka tebogo mo dipelong tsa lona.t
17 Mme le fa e le eng se lo se dirang ka puo gongwe ka tiro, dirang tsotlhe mo leineng la Morena Jesu, lo ntse lo leboga Modimo Rara ka ene.tMelao ya lelapa
18 Lona basadi, ikokobeletseng banna ba lona, jaaka go tshwanetse mo Moreneng.
19 Lona banna, ratang basadi ba lona, mme lo se ka lwa ba gakalela.t
20 Lona bana, utlwang bagolo mo dilong tsotlhe; gonne moo go kgatlha Morena.
21 Lona borra-bana, lo se tshwenye bana ba lona, gore ba se kgobege marapo.
22 Lona batlhanka, utlwang beng ba lona ka fa nameng mo dilong tsotlhe, e seng ka go ba direla matlhong jaaka ba ba kgatlhang batho, mme a e nne ka bopelophepa ka go boifa Morena. 23 Le fa e le eng se lo se dirang, se direng ka pelo yotlhe, jaaka e le go direla Morena, e seng batho, 24 ka lo itse gore lo tla amogela boswa mo Moreneng e le tuelo. Kana lo direla Morena Keresete. 25 Gonne yo o dirang tshiamololo o tla busediwa tshiamololo e a e dirileng, mme go gobelelela motho ga go teng mo Modimong.t
Colossians 3
1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.4 When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.5 Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;6 for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:7 wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;8 but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:9 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,10 and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.12 Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:14 and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.16 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 unto God.17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.21 Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.22 Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:23 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.25 For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
