Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Colossians 3:16) Readings: Psalm 119:129-152 & John 14:20-27
The Apostle tells the Colossians that if they are risen with Christ - (born again, converted, saved) there was a way that they were called to live. Some things found in them belonging to their old nature they were to not allow to dwell in them, but on the other hand, the blessings God had graciously given them were to be kept and allowed to dwell in their hearts in abundance.

1/ Reacting to what is found in us - "Let" 2/ What in the text is to be allowed to dwell in us - "the word of Christ" 3/ How the word of Christ is to dwell in us - "Richly in all wisdom"
