Colossians 3:1-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Life of the New Man

3 So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God.^{(A) 2} Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth.^{(B) 3} For you have died,^(C) and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God. ⁴ When the Messiah, who is your^[a] life, is revealed,^(D) then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.^(E)

⁵ Therefore, put to death what belongs to your worldly nature:^[b] sexual immorality, impurity,^(F) lust,^(G) evil desire, and greed,^(H) which is idolatry.^{(I) 6} Because of these, God’s wrath^(J) comes on the disobedient,^{[c] 7} and you once walked in these things when you were living^(K) in them. ⁸ But now you must also put away^(L) all the following: anger,^(M) wrath,^(N) malice,^(O) slander,^(P) and filthy language from your mouth.^(Q)
