colossians 3









































colossians 3 is the third chapter of the epistle to the colossians in the new testament of the christian bible. traditionally, it is believed to be written for the church in colossae by apostle paul, with timothy as his co-author, while he was in prison in ephesus (years 53-54), although there were debatable charges that it is the work of a secondary imitator or that it was written in rome (in early 60s). this chapter contains the advice how paul wants the colossians to live.

colossians 3
colossians is often categorized as one of the "prison epistles" that include ephesians, colossians, philippians, and philemon. colossians has some close parallels with the letter to philemon: names of some of the same people (e.g., timothy, aristarchus, archippus, mark, epaphras, luke, onesimus, and demas) appear in both epistles, and both were written by paul.
