Colossians 3:10-14

10and have 1put on the new self who is being 2 3renewed to a true knowledge 4according to the image of the One who 5created him-- 11a renewal in which 6there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, 7circumcised and uncircumcised, 8 9barbarian, Scythian, 10slave and freeman, but 11Christ is all, and in all.

12So, as those who have been 12chosen of God, holy and beloved, 13put on a 14heart of compassion, kindness, 15humility, gentleness and 16 17patience; 13 18bearing with one another, and 19forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; 20just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14Beyond all these things put on love, which is 21 22the perfect bond of 23unity.
