Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 You died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 So put to death the parts of your life that belong to the earth, such as sexual immorality, moral corruption, lust, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
