New Century Version NCV
New International Version NIV
1 Since you were raised from the dead with Christ, aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand 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 Think only about the things in heaven, not the things on earth.
2
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God.
3
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
4 Christ is our life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.
4
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 So put all evil things out of your life: sexual sinning, doing evil, letting evil thoughts control you, wanting things that are evil, and greed. This is really serving a false god.
5
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
6 These things make God angry.
6
Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
7 In your past, evil life you also did these things.
7
You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
