Colossians 3:1-4 Part One of Two NKJV


Ephesians 2:1-10 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,


in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,


among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.


But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,


even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),


and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,


that in the age to come  He might show the exceedingly riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.


For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God,


not of works, lest anyone should boast.


For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.


2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,


who comforts us in all out tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort  with which we ourselves are comforted by God.


For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.


Galatians 5:13-26 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.


For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this,; "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."


But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you consumed by one another!


I say then, Walk in the  Spirit, and you you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh,


For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary
to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.


But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.


Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,


idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,


envy, murders, drunkenness, reveries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.


But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,


gentleness, self-control, Against such there is no law.


And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.


If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.


Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
  


Colossians 2:12-15 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.


And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him. having forgiven you all trespasses,


having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us which was contrary to us.  And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.


having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
