Colossians 3:1-5

Put On the New Self

¹ _b If then you have been raised with Christ, seek _c the things that are above, where Christ is, _d seated at the right hand of God. ² _e Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. ³ For _f you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ _g who is your ₁ life _h appears, then you also will appear with him _i in glory.

⁵ _j Put to death therefore _k what is earthly in you: _{2 l} sexual immorality, impurity, _m passion, evil desire, and covetousness, _n which is idolatry.
