1 Since you were brought back to life with Christ, focus on the things that are above—where Christ holds the highest position.
2 Keep your mind on things above, not on worldly things.
3 You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 Christ is your life. When he appears, then you, too, will appear with him in glory.
5 Therefore, put to death whatever is worldly in you: your sexual sin, perversion, passion, lust, and greed (which is the same thing as worshiping wealth).
6 It is because of these sins that God’s anger comes on those who refuse to obey him.
7 You used to live that kind of sinful life.
8 Also get rid of your anger, hot tempers, hatred, cursing, obscene language, and all similar sins.
