1 If then you were raised together with
Christ, seek the things that are above,
where Christ is, seated on the right hand of
God.

2 Set your mind on the things that are
above, not on the things that are on the
earth.

3 For you died, and your life is hidden
with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then
you will also be revealed with him in glory.

5 Put to death therefore your members
which are on the earth: sexual immorality,
uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire,
and covetousness, which is idolatry.

6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God
comes on the children of disobedience.

7 You also once walked in those, when
you lived in them,

8 but now you must put them all away:
anger, wrath, malice, slander, and
shameful speaking out of your mouth.

9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you
have put off the old man with his doings,

10 and have put on the new man, who
is being renewed in knowledge after the
image of his Creator,

11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew,
circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian,
Scythian, bondservant, or free person;
but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put ontherefore, as God’s chosenones,
holy and beloved, a heart of compassion,
kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

13 bearing with one another, and forgiving
each other, if any man has a complaint
against any; even as Christ forgave you, so
you also do.
