Colossians 3:10-16

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. 15Let 24the peace of Christ 25rule in your hearts, to which 26indeed you were called in 27one body; and 28be thankful. 16Let 29the word of 30Christ richly dwell within you, 31with all wisdom 32teaching and admonishing 33one another 34with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 35singing 36with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
