Colossians 3

¹If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

²Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

³For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

⁴At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

⁵Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

⁶Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

⁷Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.

⁸But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;

⁹Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

¹⁰And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

¹¹Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

¹²As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

¹³Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:
