12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and ^(A)sin which clings so closely, and ^(B)let us run ^(C)with endurance the race that is ^(D)set before us, ²looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, ^(E)who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising ^(F)the shame, and ^(G)is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Colossians 3:1-4

English Standard Version

Put On the New Self

3 ^(A)If then you have been raised with Christ, seek ^(B)the things that are above, where Christ is, ^(C)seated at the right hand of God. ²^(D)Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. ³For ^(E)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴When Christ ^(F)who is your^[a] life ^(G)appears, then you also will appear with him ^(H)in glory.
