As Jesus continues to transform our lives.

These are the things that are put off from our lives as we put on Christ, and he puts it this way, even thinking of what's before us with the Holy Week of Palm Sunday in Good Friday in the Resurrection on Easter.

I put it this way, if then you have been raised with Christ.

Seek the things that are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Set your minds on things that are above not on things that are on Earth.

For you have died.

And your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is your life appears?

Then you also will appear with him in his glory.

Put to death.

Therefore.
