Put On the New Self
(Ephesians 4:17–32)
Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Rom 8:6Mat 6:332Co 4:18Col 3:2Mat 6:20Psa 73:25-26Heb 12:2Gal 2:19-20 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 1Jn 2:15-171Ch 22:19Col 3:1Mat 16:23Rom 8:4-6Mat 6:19Psa 119:36-37Col 3:5 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Gal 2:20Rom 6:2Col 2:20Jhn 5:24Rom 8:2Rom 5:101Pe 1:3-52Co 5:14 When Christ, who is your 1life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. 1Jn 3:2Jhn 11:25Gal 2:201Pe 1:13Php 3:21Jhn 17:241Pe 5:4Rev 22:14
Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. Rom 8:13Gal 5:19-21Gal 5:241Pe 2:11Rom 6:131Co 6:9-10Eph 5:3-61Co 6:18 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. 2 Eph 5:6Rom 1:181Pe 1:14Ezk 16:45-46Isa 57:4Rev 22:152Pe 2:14Eph 2:2-3 When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways. Eph 2:21Pe 4:3-4Rom 6:19-20Tit 3:31Co 6:11Col 2:13Rom 7:5 But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
