Colossians 3

3 ¹So-so, since dem raise una together with Christ, make una dey find di things wey dey up for heaven, where Christ dey sidon for di right hand of our Papa. ²Make una put una mind for di things wey dey up there, no be for di things of dis earth. ³Because una don die, and una life dey hide with Christ inside our Papa. ⁴When Christ, wey be una life, go show, na den una too go show with am inside glory.

⁵So make una kill wetin be earthly for inside una: sexual sin, dirty life, lust, bad desire, and greed—wey be idol worship. ⁶Na because of dis things di wrath of our Papa dey come on top di people wey no dey obey am. ⁷Una too before dey live dis kind way—na so una life bin be. ⁸But now, make una comot all dis things: anger, vex, bad mind, talk wey dey spoil person name, and dirty mouth-talk from una mouth. ⁹No lie to one another, since una don pull comot di old man with all im bad-bad ways, ¹⁰and una don wear di new man, wey dem dey make new inside knowledge to be like di image of di One wey create am. ¹¹No Greek or Jew dey here, person wey circumcise or wey no circumcise, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free-person—but Christ na everything, and e dey inside everybody.

¹²So, as una be di people wey our Papa choose, holy and wey e love well-well, make una wear tender mercy wey dey pain belle wey come from heart, kindness, humble mind, gentle spirit, and patient heart. ¹³Make una dey endure one another, dey forgive whatever complain una get against each other. As Oga forgive una, na so make una too forgive. ¹⁴And on top all dis good ways, make una wear love, wey dey tie everything together for perfect one-mind. ¹⁵Make di peace of Christ rule una heart—na for am dem call una as one body. Make una dey give thanks. ¹⁶Make di word of Christ dey live inside una well-well, dey teach and dey correct one another with all wisdom, dey sing psalms, hymns, and songs wey come from di Spirit, with thanks-giving for una heart to our Papa. ¹⁷Whatever una do, whether na talk or na work, make una do am all for di name of Oga Jesus, dey thank our Papa through am.

Family House Wey Love Dey Shape

¹⁸Wives, make una submit una-self to una husband, as e correct for inside Oga.

¹⁹Husbands, love una wife and no dey hard on dem.

²⁰Children, obey una papa and mama for everything, because dis one dey please Oga.

²¹Una wey be papa, no dey provoke una children, so dem no go lose heart.

²²Slaves, obey una earthly oga for everything—no be only when dem dey look una, to gain favor, but with true heart, dey fear Oga. ²³Whatever una do, make una work am with una whole heart, as if na for Oga, no be for people, ²⁴since una know say una go receive di inheritance as reward from Oga; na Oga Christ una dey serve. ²⁵Anybody wey do wrong go collect pay for im wrong, and favoritism no dey.
