Colossians . 01 02 03 04 ..... put on the new self
03:01 .. therefore if you have been raised up with Christ .. keep seeking the things above .. where Christ is ..
......... seated at the right hand of God
03:02 .. set your mind on the things above .. not on the things that are on earth
03:03 .. for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God
03:04 .. when Christ .. who is our life .. is revealed .. then you also will be revealed with him in glory
03:05 .. therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality .. impurity .. passion ..
......... evil desire .. and greed .. which amounts to idolatry
03:06 .. for it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience
03:07 .. and in them you also once walked .. when you were living in them
03:08 .. but now you also .. put them all aside .. anger .. wrath .. malice .. slander .. and abusive speech from your mouth
03:09 .. do not lie to one another .. since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices
03:10 .. and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the one who created him
03:11 .. a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew .. circumcised and uncircumcised .. barbarian ..
......... scythian .. slave and freeman .. but Christ is all .. and in all
03:12 .. so .. as those who have been chosen of God .. holy and beloved .. put on a heart of compassion .. kindness .. humility .. gentleness and patience
03:13 .. bearing with one another .. and forgiving each other .. whoever has a complaint against anyone .. just as the Lord forgave you .. so also should you
03:14 .. beyond all these things put on love .. which is the perfect bond of unity
03:15 .. let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts .. to which indeed you were called in one body .. and be thankful
03:16 .. let the word of Christ richly well within you .. with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs ..
......... singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God
03:17 .. whatever you do in word or deed .. do all in the name of the Lord Jesus .. giving thanks through him to God the Father
.................. family relations
03:18 .. wives .. be subject to your husbands .. as is fitting in the Lord
03:19 .. husbands .. love your wives and do not be embittered against them
03:20 .. children .. be obedient to your parents in all things .. for this is well-pleasing to the Lord
03:21 .. fathers .. do not exasperate your children .. so that they will not lose heart
03:22 .. slaves .. in all things obey those who are your masters on earth .. not with external service .. as those who merely please men ..
......... but with sincerity of heart .. fearing the Lord
03:23 .. whatever you do .. do your work heartily .. as for the Lord rather than for men
03:24 .. knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance .. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve
03:25 .. for he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done .. and that without partiality
The true believer is united with Christ in a union which can never be broken and by virtue of that union he is justified .. sanctified and yet to be glorified .. since .. as to his standing .. his true life is hid with Christ in God .. it is his business to mind the concerns of that world to which Christ has ascended .. making heaven his scope and aim .. and manifesting to those about him .. his title and qualifications for heaven .. by a consistent Christian life . . . . v 1 & 3 the believer’s eternal standing is in Christ .. If by .. regeneration .. we were united to him .. we are reckoned as having died when he died .. having risen when he ascended .. having been seated in heaven when he was seated .. and as yet to appear with him when he comes forth in glory .. our true life is therefore hid with him .. It is our part to make our state conform as nearly as possible with our standing
