Colossians 3:1 - Prayer Tents

Put On the New Self

3If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.G1487G4891G3767G4891G5547G2212G507G3757G5547G2076G2521G1722G1188G2316

2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.G5426G507G3361G1909G1093

3For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.G1063G599G2532G5216G2222G2928G4862G5547G1722G2316

4When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.G3752G5547G2257G2222G5319G5119G5319G5210G2532G5319G4862G846G1722G1391

5Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.G3499G3767G5216G3196G3588G1909G1093G4202G167G3806G2556G1939G2532G4124G3748G2076G1495

6On account of these the wrath of God is coming.G1223G3739G3709G2316G2064G1909G5207G543

7In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.G1722G3739G5210G2532G4043G4218G3753G2198G1722G846

8But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.G1161G3570G5210G2532G659G3956G3709G2372G2549G988G148G1537G5216G4750

9Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practicesG5574G3361G1519G240G554G3820G444G4862G846G4234

10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.G2532G1746G3501G3588G341G1519G1922G2596G1504G2936G846

11Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.G3699G1762G3756G1672G2532G2453G4061G2532G203G915G4658G1401G1658G235G5547G3956G2532G1722G3956

12Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,G1746G3767G5613G1588G2316G40G2532G25G4698G3628G5544G5012G4236G3115

13bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.G430G240G2532G5483G1438G1437G5100G2192G3437G4314G5100G2531G2532G5547G5483G5213G3779G2532G5210

14And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.G1161G1909G3956G5125G26G3748G2076G4886G5047

15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.G2532G1018G1515G2316G1018G1722G5216G2588G1519G3739G2532G2564G1722G1520G4983G2532G1096G2170

16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.G1774G3056G5547G1774G1722G5213G4146G1722G3956G4678G1321G2532G3560G1438G5568G2532G5215G2532G4152G5603G103G1722G5485G1722G5216G2588G2962

17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.G2532G3748G3956G302G4160G1722G3056G2228G1722G2041G3956G1722G3686G2962G2424G2168G2316G2532G3962G1223G846
