Colossians 3:1-7

1Therefore, if you have been 1raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, 2seated at the right hand of God. 2 3 4Set your minds on the things that are 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, 9treat 10the parts of your earthly body as dead to 11sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which 12amounts to idolatry. 6For it is because of these things that 13the wrath of God is coming 14upon the 15sons of disobedience, 7and 16in them you also once walked, when you were living 17in them.
