The Apostle Paul
Colossians 3:2ASV·traditional attribution
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
Albert Barnes Presbyterian
Your thoughts must dwell where Christ dwells now and where your final home awaits, that is where your real interests lie. Do not fix your affections on houses, lands, fashion, or debasing pleasures; the heavenly world is your proper field of contemplation.

Translate, "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things," &c. (Col 2:20). Contrast "who mind earthly things" (Phi 3:19). Whatever we make an idol of, will either be a cross to us if we be believers, or a curse to us if unbelievers.
Geneva Bible Notes Reformed
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (b) So he calls that show of religion which he spoke of in the former chapter.
