“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth — 'Set minds' (phroneō) is habitual orientation. The binary contrast (anō/katō, above/below) divides heaven from earth. Earthly concerns are not intrinsically evil but are misplaced priority. The mental discipline required reflects the threat of worldly enticement. Renewed mind is warfare.
