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. 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. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such
things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have
taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the
image of its Creator.
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against
someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in
perfect unity.
