Context of Colossians 3:4
2have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth; 3for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory. 5Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry. 6On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
