The New Life in Christ

3So if 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 is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.G3752G5547G2257G2222G5319G5119G5319G5210G2532G5319G4862G846G1722G1391
5Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).G3499G3767G5216G3196G3588G1909G1093G4202G167G3806G2556G1939G2532G4124G3748G2076G1495
6On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient.G1223G3739G3709G2316G2064G1909G5207G543
7These are the ways you also once followed, when you were living that life.G1722G3739G5210G2532G4043G4218G3753G2198G1722G846
8But now you must get rid of all such things—anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth.G1161G3570G5210G2532G659G3956G3709G2372G2549G988G148G1537G5216G4750
9Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practicesG5574G3361G1519G240G554G3820G444G4862G846G4234
10and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.G2532G1746G3501G3588G341G1519G1922G2596G1504G2936G846
11In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!G3699G1762G3756G1672G2532G2453G4061G2532G203G915G4658G1401G1658G235G5547G3956G2532G1722G3956
12As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.G1746G3767G5613G1588G2316G40G2532G25G4698G3628G5544G5012G4236G3115
13Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.G430G240G2532G5483G1438G1437G5100G2192G3437G4314G5100G2531G2532G5547G5483G5213G3779G2532G5210
14Above all, clothe yourselves with 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 the one body. And be thankful.G2532G1018G1515G2316G1018G1722G5216G2588G1519G3739G2532G2564G1722G1520G4983G2532G1096G2170
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs 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
