2: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.- edit KJV text
2: Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.— edit Douay text


Set your affection. Marg., "or, mind." Gr., "think of" -- froneite. The thoughts should be occupied about the things where Christ now dwells, where our final home is to be, where our great interests are. Since we are raised from the death of sin, and are made to live anew, the great object of our contemplation should be the heavenly world.

Not on things on the earth. Wealth, honour, pleasure. Our affections should not be fixed on houses and lands; on scenes of fashion and gaiety; on low and debasing enjoyments.

  • "affections" "mind"
