P. 48

so 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,  and  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
                              48
