1 You were raised from death with Christ. So live for what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
2 Think only about what is up there, not what is here on earth.
3 Your old self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God.
4 Yes, Christ is now your life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.
5 So put everything evil out of your life: sexual sin, doing anything immoral, letting sinful thoughts control you, and wanting things that are wrong. And don’t keep wanting more and more for yourself, which is the same as worshiping a false god.
