Put On the New Self
1bIf then you have been raised with Christ, seek cthe things that are above, where Christ is, dseated at the right hand of God. 2eSet your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For fyou have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ gwho is your1 life happears, then you also will appear with him iin glory.
5jPut to death therefore kwhat is earthly in you:2 lsexual immorality, impurity, mpassion, evil desire, and covetousness, nwhich is idolatry. 6oOn account of these the wrath of God is coming.3 7pIn these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8But now qyou must put them all away: ranger, wrath, malice, sslander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9tDo not lie to one another, seeing that uyou have put off vthe old self4 with its practices 10and whave put on xthe new self, ywhich is being renewed in knowledge zafter the image of aits creator. 11bHere there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,5 free; but Christ is call, and in all.
