If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, – ASLAN International Ministry

Colossians 3:1-113 If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,2 the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,3 for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;4 when the Christ — our life — may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.5 Put to death, then, your members that [are] upon the earth — whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry –6 because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,7 in which also ye — ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;8 but now put off, even ye, the whole — anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking — out of your mouth.9 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,10 and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman — but the all and in all — Christ.

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear – ASLAN International Ministry

James 1:19-2719 So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,20 for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;21 wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;22 and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,23 because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,24 for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;25 and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy in his doing.26 If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;27 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation — unspotted to keep himself from the world.
