The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 58: Colossians: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Colossians
3:9. Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with
his deeds,
3:10. And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge,
according to the image of him that created him.
3:11. Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all
and in all.
3:12. Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the
bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience:
3:13. Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if any have a
complaint against another. Even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you
also.
3:14. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of
perfection.
3:15. And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also
you are called in one body: and be ye thankful.
3:16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly: in all wisdom,
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual
canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God.
3:17. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
3:18. Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord.
3:19. Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter towards them.
3:20. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well
pleasing to the Lord.
3:21. Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be
discouraged.
3:22. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh:
not serving to the eye, as pleasing men: but in simplicity of heart,
fearing God.
3:23. Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not
to men:
3:24. Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of
inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ.
3:25. For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done
wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God.
Colossians Chapter 4
He recommends constant prayer and wisdom. Various salutations.
4:1. Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing
that you also have a master in heaven.
4:2. Be instant in prayer: watching in it with thanksgiving.
4:3. Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of
speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound):
4:4. That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
4:5. Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.
4:6. Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may
know how you ought to answer every man.
4:7. All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother and
faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to
you.
4:8. What I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the
things that concern you and comfort your hearts:
4:9. With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of
you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you.
