Colossians 3:1-9 ▼

2 mind the things above, not the things on the earth,

3 for you died, and your life has been hid with the Christ in God;

4 when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear with Him in glory.

6 because of which things comes the anger of God on the sons of the disobedience,

7 in which you also—you once walked, when you lived in them;

8 but now put off, even you, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, slander, filthy talking—out of your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,
