Colossians 3
If then you were
raised with
Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at
the
right hand of God.
Set your mind on
things
above, not on things on the 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.
Therefore put to
death your
members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil
desire,
anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language, and covetousness,
which is
idolatry.
Do not lie to one
another,
since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the
new man
who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created
him.
Therefore, as the
elect of God,
holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering; 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.
But above all these
things
put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And
let the peace of God rule in your
hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
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
in word
or deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the
Father
through Him. [
