If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will 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.
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
Do not lie to one another, since you 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 who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,
where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave 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.
Character of the New Man
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, 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.
bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
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 which also you were called in one body; and be 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 whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
