Colossians 3:1-9 ▼

1 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth,

3 for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him.

5 So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.

6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

7 You also lived your lives in this way at one time, when you used to live among them.

8 But now, put off all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another since you have put off the old man with its practices
