Colossians 3:1-7

1Therefore if you have been 1raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, 2seated at the right hand of God. 2 3 4Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. 3For you have 5died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, 6who is our life, is revealed, 7then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

5 8Therefore 9consider 10the members of your earthly body as dead to 11 12immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which 13amounts to idolatry. 6For it is because of these things that 14the wrath of God will come 15upon the sons of disobedience, 7and 16in them you also once walked, when you were living 17in them.
