Colossians 3:1-7

GNT

NIV

1 You have been raised to life with Christ, so set your hearts on the things that are in heaven, where Christ sits on his throne at the right side of God.
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Keep your minds fixed on things there, not on things here on earth.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
4 Your real life is Christ and when he appears, then you too will appear with him and share his glory!
4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 You must put to death, then, the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust, evil passions, and greed (for greed is a form of idolatry).
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
6 Because of such things God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him.
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
7 At one time you yourselves used to live according to such desires, when your life was dominated by them.
7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
