Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,
keep seeking the things that are above,
where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your mind on things above,
not on things on the earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory…
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive one another, if anyone has a complaint against another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
But above all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
~ from Colossians 3
