19. COLOSSIANS 3
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
• Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
• 3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on
things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you
died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When
Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with
him in glory.
20. • 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is
idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You
used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now
you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger,
rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not
lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its
practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed
in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no
Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian,
slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
21. • 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness
and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if
any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord
forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds
them all together in perfect unity.
22. • 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of
one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the
message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and
admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns,
and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your
hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all
in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
through him.
23. • Let us Pray.
• Father, we thank you for your wonderful plan. From the beginning you covered
Adam and Eve as a prophetic sign that you will never leave us alone. Thank you that
Christ is our heavenly clothing and this special garment allow us to approach your
Mercy Seat.
• Help us to completely remove the old garments of sin so we will be able to put on
the garments of salvation, of praise and of power.
• Thank you my Lord.
