Colossians 3:1-7

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Since you were brought back to life with Christ, focus on the things that are above--where Christ holds the highest position.

2 Keep your mind on things above, not on worldly things.

3 You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 Christ is your life. When he appears, then you, too, will appear with him in glory.

5 Therefore, put to death whatever is worldly in you: your sexual sin, perversion, passion, lust, and greed (which is the same thing as worshiping wealth).

6 It is because of these sins that God's anger comes on those who refuse to obey him.

7 You used to live that kind of sinful life.

New International Version NIV

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 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

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

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 these, the wrath of God is coming.

7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
