⁶ and raised us up together, and made us sit together ^(A)in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Not Carnality but Christ

3 If then you were ^(A)raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, ^(B)where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. ² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the ^(C)earth. ^3 (D)For you died, ^(E)and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

⁴ Therefore we were ^(A)buried with Him through baptism into death, that ^(B)just as Christ was raised from the dead by ^(C)the glory of the Father, ^(D)even so we also should walk in newness of life.

^5 (E)For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

Redemption in Christ

^3 (A)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

^12 (A)buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through ^(B)faith in the working of God, ^(C)who raised Him from the dead. ¹³ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

^21 (A)that they all may be one, as ^(B)You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. ²² And the ^(C)glory which You gave Me I have given them, ^(D)that they may be one just as We are one: ²³ I in them, and You in Me; ^(E)that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

^24 (F)“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; ^(G)for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ O righteous Father! ^(H)The world has not known You, but ^(I)I have known You; and ^(J)these have known that You sent Me. ^26 (K)And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love ^(L)with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him ^(A)follow Me; and ^(B)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

²⁰ Behold, ^(A)I stand at the door and knock. ^(B)If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, ^(C)I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. ²¹ To him who overcomes ^(D)I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(A)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that ^(B)where I am, there you may be also.
