1 If, therefore, ye were raised up with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Keep thinking of the things above, not of the things on the earth, 3 for ye died, and your life has been hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, our Life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with Him be manifested in glory. 5 Make dead, therefore, your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which, indeed, is idolatry; 6 on account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience; 7 in which things ye also formerly walked, when ye were living in these things. 8 But now do ye also put away all these ; anger, wrath, malice, reviling, shameful talk out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices, 10 and having put on the new man who is being renewed unto full knowledge, according to the image of Him Who created him; 11 where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on, therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, tender affections of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering; 13 (bearing with one another, and freely forgiving one another, if any one have a complaint against any; even as the Lord freely forgave you, so also do ye): Colossians 3:1-13, Worrell New Testament.
