Colossians 3:7-13

7and 1in them you also once walked, when you were living 2in them. 8But now you also, 3put them all aside: 4anger, wrath, malice, slander, and 5abusive speech from your mouth. 967Do not lie to one another, since you 8laid aside the old 9self with its evil practices, 10and have 10put on the new self who is being 1112renewed to a true knowledge 13according to the image of the One who 14created him-- 11a renewal in which 15there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, 16circumcised and uncircumcised, 1718barbarian, Scythian, 19slave and freeman, but 20Christ is all, and in all.

12So, as those who have been 21chosen of God, holy and beloved, 22put on a 23heart of compassion, kindness, 24humility, gentleness and 2526patience; 1327bearing with one another, and 28forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; 29just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.
