Colossians 3:1–11

Put On the New Man

¹Therefore, if you have been ^araised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, ^bseated at the right hand of God.

^21aSet your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

³For you ^adied and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.

⁴When Christ, ^awho is our life, is manifested, ^bthen you also will be manifested with Him in glory.

^5aTherefore, ¹consider ^bthe members of your earthly body as dead to ^csexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

⁶On account of these things, ^athe wrath of God is coming ¹upon the sons of disobedience,

⁷and ^ain them you also once walked, when you were living ¹in them.

⁸But now you also, ^alay them all aside: ^bwrath, anger, malice, slander, and ^cabusive speech from your mouth.

^91aDo not lie to one another, since you ^bput off the old man with its evil practices,

¹⁰and have ^aput on the new man who is being ^1brenewed to a full knowledge ^caccording to the image of the One who ^dcreated him—

¹¹a renewal in which ^athere is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^bcircumcised and uncircumcised, ^1cbarbarian, Scythian, ^dslave, and freeman, but ^eChrist is all and in all.
