# Connecting Statement:

Paul warns the believers that because they are one with Christ, they ought not do certain things.

# If then

This is an idiom that means "because." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# God has raised you with Christ

Here to raise up is an idiom for causing someone who has died to become alive again. Possible meanings are 1) because God has caused Christ to come alive again, God has already given the believers in Colossae new spiritual life. Alternate translation: "God has given you new life because you belong to Christ" or 2) because God has caused Christ to come alive again, the believers in Colossae can know that after they die they will live with Christ, and Paul can speak of the believers living again as if it has already happened. Alternate translation: "you can be sure that God will give you life as he has caused Christ to come alive again" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-pastforfuture]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# things above

"things in heaven"

# where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God

To sit at the "right hand of God" is a symbolic action of receiving great honor and authority from God. Alternate translation: "where Christ is sitting in the place of honor beside God" or "where Christ is sitting in the place of honor at God's right side"(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-symaction]])
