Colossians 3:1-7

1Since you were brought back to life with Christ, focus on the things that are above—where Christ holds the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne.

2Keep your mind on things above, not on worldly things.

3You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4Christ is your life. When he appears, then you, too, will appear with him in glory.

5Therefore, put to death whatever is worldly in you: your sexual sin, perversion, passion, lust, and greed (which is the same thing as worshiping wealth).

6It is because of these sins that God’s anger comes on those who refuse to obey him.

7You used to live that kind of sinful life.
