| 3:1 |
Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. |
| 3:2 |
Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth. |
| 3:3 |
For you have died, and so your life is hidden with Christ in God. |
| 3:4 |
When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. |
| 3:5 |
Therefore, mortify your body, while it is upon the earth. For because of fornication, impurity, lust, evil desires, and avarice, which are a kind of service to idols, |
| 3:6 |
the wrath of God has overwhelmed the sons of unbelief. |
| 3:7 |
You, too, walked in these things, in times past, when you were living among them. |
| 3:8 |
But now you must set aside all these things: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, and indecent speech from your mouth. |
| 3:9 |
Do not lie to one another. Strip yourselves of the old man, with his deeds, |
| 3:10 |
and clothe yourself with the new man, who has been renewed by knowledge, in accord with the image of the One who created him, |
| 3:11 |
where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, servant nor free. Instead, Christ is everything, in everyone. |
