Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
Put on the New Self
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
