Colossians 3 is probably my favorite text in the Bible, especially these first few verses. Thoroughly enjoyed the lessons on them seeing all the angles and connections. Thank you, Dr. Piper.

Hi, I just found you and you spoke to me because our Heavenly Father wanted me to understand that I am holding pride in me still and a light ulb went on when you explained this scripture. Thank you so very much! Also can you tell me what translation you are using. I understand it better than any other I have read. Have a very Blessed Day!!
Piper posted on his You Tube a get together with Douglas Wilson. Posted 9-16-23. I figured it was from a little tête-à-tête from this week, and was VERY disappointed that Doug would meet with the virulent-never-Trump-Piper without saying a word about the societal dysfunction Piper had helped spawn. A quick call to Moscow, Idaho, revealed the video was from TEN YEARS AGO. Piper was trying to get a little conservative street cred at Wilson’s expense. Piper actually thought we’d fall for it. Not nice.
help us Lord to keep seeking You and keep our eyes on You despite our wandering minds and eyes!

John Piper makes a good point that 'things' in this passage doesn't mean material objects but realities.

Seems to be the English Standard Version for Colossians 3:5
I think he makes his own translation but quite often it is the same as the English Standard Version.
