Colossians 3:1-11
1If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
6for which things` sake the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.
7You also once walked in those, when you lived in these things;
8but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9Don`t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10and have put on the new man, that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11where there can`t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
