1If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.
3For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.
4At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.
5Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;
6Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;
7Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.
