1 If then you are risen with Christ, seek the things, that are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God. 2 let the things above, and not such worldly matters be the object of your thoughts. 3 for you are dead to them, and Christ has secured your life with God. 4 Christ is your life, and when he shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your sensual appetites, fornication, impurity, irregular passions, wicked desires, and that licentiousness practised by idolaters. 6 these are vices which draw down the divine vengeance upon unbelieving nations; 7 among whom you had your conversation, when you followed their practices. Colossians 3:1-7, Mace New Testament. Public domain.
