3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

[SIZE=large]American English Bible[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8pt]1[/SIZE] So, if you’ve been raised with the Anointed One, search for the things that are up above… at the right hand of God, where the Anointed One is sitting.


[SIZE=medium]These are my thoughts.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]We should be doing things of righteousness and not things of the flesh.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Colossians 3:3King James Version (KJV)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]3 [/SIZE]For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
[SIZE=medium] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]American English Bible[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]3[/SIZE] because, you've already died and your life has been hidden away in the Anointed One and in God.

[SIZE=10pt]These are my thoughts.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Without Christ we are dead but by Him we are made alive.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]4 [/SIZE]When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

[SIZE=medium]American English Bible[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]4[/SIZE] Then, when the Anointed One (who is our life) reveals himself, you will also be seen with him in glory.

[SIZE=large]Colossians 3:5King James Version (KJV)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]5 [/SIZE]Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

​

[SIZE=28pt]An American English Bible[/SIZE]

[SIZE=18pt]With Old Testament based on the Greek Septuagint[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]5[/SIZE] Therefore, deaden those earthly [body parts] to sexually immorality, uncleanness, passions, desires for bad things and greediness (which is idolatry).

[SIZE=medium]These are my thoughts.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]We should do whatever we need to do to remove sin from ourselves, apart from doing more sin.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]6 [/SIZE]For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:


[SIZE=12pt]An American English Bible[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]With Old Testament based on the Greek Septuagint[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]6[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] For, it’s due to such things that the wrath of God is coming.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]These are my thoughts.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Those who disobey God will know His wrath.[/SIZE]

 

[WDJD]

If Jesus said we will hear his voice, then that's the only way we can show his righteousness rather than self righteousness. I mean he is the king of righteousness.

John 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

[SIZE=12pt]An American English Bible[/SIZE] [SIZE=large]With Old Testament based on the Greek Septuagint[/SIZE] [SIZE=12pt]7[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] Why, that’s the way you acted back when you used to live for such things. [/SIZE]


[SIZE=12pt]These are my thoughts.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]There was once a time we lived as the world, we should be able to understand that without the One we have Christ, they will continue and those ways as we would if we never came to Him.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]8[/SIZE] But now, get all of that out of your mouths – the wrath, anger, badness, slander, and obscenities.

[SIZE=medium]The Lord will have us remove things from our lives if we are His.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=large]Colossians 3:11King James Version (KJV)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]11 [/SIZE]Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

[SIZE=12pt]An American English Bible[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]With Old Testament based on the Greek Septuagint[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]11[/SIZE] Why, you were circumcised into him with a circumcision that was done without hands, when you stripped away your fleshly bodies… yes, this is the circumcision of the Anointed One.

[SIZE=medium]We are all the same at the foot of the cross.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=28pt]American English Bible[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]12[/SIZE] So as God’s chosen people who are holy and loved, put on the caring traits of empathy, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.

[SIZE=medium]These traits we gain when we become children of the Father. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]14 [/SIZE]And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
[SIZE=28pt]American English Bible[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]14[/SIZE] and add love to all of that, because it’s the perfect unifying force.


[SIZE=medium]These are my thoughts.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]By the love Christ had which was shown on the cross we can be saved.[/SIZE]

Obey the Spirit of God, He will lead you to put to death the deeds of the flesh.
