| 1 | If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. | Si donc vous êtes ressuscités avec le Christ, recherchez les choses d'en haut, où le Christ demeure assis à la droite de Dieu; | 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 affection on things above, not on things on the earth. | affectionnez-vous aux choses d'en haut, et non à celles de la terre : | Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. |
| 3 | For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. | car vous êtes morts, et votre vie est cachée avec le Christ en Dieu. | For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. |
| 4 | When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. | Quand le Christ, votre vie, apparaîtra, alors vous apparaîtrez, vous aussi, avec lui dans la gloire. | When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. |
| 5 | Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: | Faites donc mourir vos membres, les membres de l'homme terrestre, la fornication, l'impureté, la luxure, toute mauvaise convoitise et la cupidité qui est une idolâtrie : | 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 the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: | toutes choses qui attirent la colère de Dieu sur les fils de l'incrédulité, | for which things` sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: |
| 7 | In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. | parmi lesquels vous aussi, vous marchiez autrefois, lorsque vous viviez dans ces désordres. | wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; |
| 8 | But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. | Mais maintenant, vous aussi, rejetez toutes ces choses, la colère, l'animosité, la méchanceté; que les injures et les paroles déshonnêtes soient bannies de votre bouche. | 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 deeds; | N'usez point de mensonge les uns envers les autres, puisque vous avez dépouillé le vieil homme avec ses oeuvres, | 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, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: | et revêtu l'homme nouveau, qui se renouvelle sans cesse selon la science parfaite à l'image de celui qui l'a créé. | and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: |
| 11 | Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. | Dans ce renouvellement il n'y a plus ni Grec ou Juif, ni circoncis ou incirconcis, ni barbare ou Scythe, ni esclave ou homme libre; mais le Christ est tout en tous. | 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 the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; | Ainsi donc, comme élus de Dieu, saints et bien-aimés, revêtez-vous d'entrailles de miséricorde, de bonté, d'humilité, de douceur, et patience, | Put on therefore, as God`s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; |
| 13 | Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. | vous supportant les uns les autres et vous pardonnant réciproquement, si l'un a sujet de se plaindre de l'autre. Comme le Seigneur vous a pardonné, pardonnez-vous aussi. | 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 charity, which is the bond of perfectness. | Mais surtout revêtez-vous de la charité, qui est le lien de la perfection. | and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness. |
| 15 | And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. | Et que la paix du Christ, à laquelle vous avez été appelés de manière à former un seul corps, règne dans vos coeurs; soyez reconnaissants. | 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 in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. | Que la parole du Christ demeure en vous avec abondance, de telle sorte que vous vous instruisiez et vous avertissiez les uns les autres en toute sagesse : sous l'inspiration de la grâce que vos coeurs s'épanchent vers Dieu en chants, par des psaumes, par des hymnes, par des cantiques spirituels. | 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 deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. | En quoi que ce soit que vous fassiez, en parole ou en oeuvre, faites tout au nom du Seigneur Jésus, en rendant par lui des actions de grâces à Dieu le Père. | 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, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. | Vous femmes, soyez soumises à vos maris, comme il convient dans le Seigneur. | Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
| 19 | Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. | Vous maris, aimez vos femmes et ne vous aigrissez pas contre elles. | Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. |
| 20 | Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. | Vous enfants, obéissez en toutes choses à vos parents, car cela est agréable dans le Seigneur. | Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. |
| 21 | Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. | Vous pères, n'irritez pas vos enfants, de peur qu'ils ne se découragent. | Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged. |
| 22 | Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; | Vous serviteurs, obéissez en tout à vos maîtres selon la chair, non pas à l'oeil et pour plaire aux hommes, mais avec simplicité de coeur, dans la crainte du Seigneur. | 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 | And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; | Quoi que vous fassiez, faites-le de bon coeur, comme pour le Seigneur, et non pas pour des hommes, | whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; |
| 24 | Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. | sachant que vous recevrez du Seigneur pour récompense l'héritage céleste. Servez le Seigneur Jésus-Christ. | knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ. |
| 25 | But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. | Car celui qui commet l'injustice recevra selon son injustice, et il n'y a point d'acception de personnes. | For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. |
