Colossians 3: 1 - 11
|
| 1
|
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
|
| 2
|
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
|
| 3
|
For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
|
| 4
|
When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
|
| 5
|
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
|
| 6
|
On account of these the wrath of God is coming.
|
| 7
|
In these you once walked, when you lived in them.
|
| 8
|
But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth.
|
| 9
|
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices
|
| 10
|
and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
|
| 11
|
Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scyth'ian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all.
