Colossians 3:1-4 ESV1 If then you have been raises with Christ seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:12-17 ESV12 Put on then, as God’s chosen one’s, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other, as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
