Colossians 3:1-10

Goodspeed(i) 1 If, then, you have been raised to life with Christ, set your hearts on the things that are where Christ is, above, seated at God's right hand. 2 Fix your thoughts on the things that are above, not on those that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life now lies hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our true life, shall make his appearance, then you also will appear glorified with him. 5 So treat as dead your physical nature, as far as immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed are concerned; for it is really idolatry. 6 It is on account of these things that God's anger is coming. 7 And you once practiced them as others do, when you lived that old earthly life. 8 But now you too must put them all aside—anger, rage, spite, rough, abusive talk—these must be banished from your lips. 9 You must not lie to one another. For you have stripped off your old self with its ways 10 and have put on that new self newly made in the likeness of its Creator, to know him fully.
