heavenly:  God  is  not  ashamed  to  be  called
          their God: for He has prepared for them a city.

          9 If you then be raised with Christ, seek those
          things  above,  where  Christ  sits  on  the  right
          hand of God. Set your affection on things

          above, not on things on the earth. For you
          are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in

          God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
          then  you  shall  also  appear  with  him  in  glory.
          Put  to  death  your  old  nature  which  is  of  the
          earth;  fornication,  uncleanness,  inordinate
          affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which
          is idolatry: for which things' sake the wrath of
          God  comes  on  children  of  disobedience:  in
          which you also walked and lived some time.


          But  now  also  put  off  all  these:  anger,  wrath,
          malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of
          your mouth. Do not lie to another, seeing
          that you have put off the old nature with its

          deeds  and  have  put  on  the  new  nature,
          which  is  renewed  in  knowledge  after  the

          image  of  him  that  created  him:  where
          there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor
                              47
