Colossians 3:9-17

9Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old self with its practices

10and have put on the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your Creator.

11In Christ there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.

12Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,

13bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.

14Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

15And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful.

16Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

17And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
