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).
6. It is because of these sins that God’s anger comes on those who refuse to obey him.
7. You used to live that kind of sinful life.
