Colossians 3:1-11
Chapter 3
Set your mind on the things above, not on earthly things.
For you have died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is your life, appears, you also will appear with him in glory.
Christian Praxis
Therefore, eliminate what is earthly in your life, such as immorality, impurity, inordinate passions, wicked desires, and greed, which is a form of idol worship. Christian Praxis
These are the things that provoke God’s anger.
For a time, you followed this way and lived in disorder.
Well then, reject all of that: anger, evil intentions, malice; and let no abusive words come from your lips
Do not lie to one another. You have been stripped of the old self and its way of thinking;
to put on the new self, which is being renewed and aims to reach perfect knowledge and the likeness of its Creator.
There is no distinction between Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, foreigner, slave or free—for Christ is all and in all.
