Colossians 3:2

Seek The Things Above

¹ If ye be then risen again with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the righthand of God. ² Set your affection on things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth. ³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
