Colossians 3: 1-11

So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of

God. Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth, for you have died, and your

life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him

in glory.

Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed

(which is idolatry). On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient. These are the

ways you also once followed, when you were living that life. But now you must get rid of all such things: anger,

wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have

stripped off the old self with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in

knowledge according to the image of its creator. In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and

uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, enslaved and free, but Christ is all and in all!
