Colossians 3:9-13

9 1 2Do not lie to one another, since you 3laid aside the old 4self with its evil practices, 10and have 5put on the new self who is being 6 7renewed to a true knowledge 8according to the image of the One who 9created him-- 11a renewal in which 10there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, 11circumcised and uncircumcised, 12 13barbarian, Scythian, 14slave and freeman, but 15Christ is all, and in all.

12So, as those who have been 16chosen of God, holy and beloved, 17put on a 18heart of compassion, kindness, 19humility, gentleness and 20 21patience; 13 22bearing with one another, and 23forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; 24just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.
