Colossians 3:1  in Yoruba 

Kol 3:1 YBCV

[1] NJẸ bi a ba ti ji nyin dide pẹlu Kristi, ẹ mã ṣafẹri awọn nkan ti mbẹ loke, nibiti Kristi gbé wà ti o joko li ọwọ́ ọtun Ọlọrun.

Key: Now that we have given our life to Christ and our life is now hidden in Him, we must set our gaze on the things of heaven; thinking about the things of God and the realities of heaven. The consciousness that we are representatives of Christ on earth should always dwell in heart and must reflect in everything we do (Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God 1 Corinthians 10:31) as Christ ambassadors.(Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20)
