1. Since you were brought back to life with Christ, focus on the things that are above—where Christ holds the highest position.
2. Keep your mind on things above, not on worldly things.
3. You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4. Christ is your life. When he appears, then you, too, will appear with him in glory.
5. Therefore, put to death whatever is worldly in you: your sexual sin, perversion, passion, lust, and greed (which is the same thing as worshiping wealth).
