Colossians 3:1-6

The Life of the New Man

1 So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth.
3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God.
4 When the Messiah, who is your[a] life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
5 Therefore, put to death whatever in you is worldly:[b] sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.
6 Because of these, God's wrath comes on the disobedient,[c]
