Colossians 3:1-11
1: So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2: Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth,
3; for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4: When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.
5: Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).
6; On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient.
7; These are the ways you also once followed, when you were living that life.
8; But now you must get rid of all such things-anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth.
9: Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices
10; and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.
11; In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!
