Colossians 3:7-13

7and 1in them you also once walked, when you were living 2in them. 8But now you also, 3rid yourselves of all of them: 4anger, wrath, malice, slander, and 5obscene speech from your mouth. 967Do not lie to one another, since you 8stripped off the old 9self with its evil practices, 10and have 10put on the new self, which is being 1112renewed to a true knowledge 13according to the image of the One who 14created it-- 11a renewal in which 15there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, 16circumcised and uncircumcised, 1718barbarian, 19Scythian, 20slave, and free, but 21Christ is all, and in all.

12So, as those who have been 22chosen of God, holy and beloved, 23put on a 24heart of compassion, kindness, 25humility, gentleness, and 2627patience; 1328bearing with one another, and 29forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; 30just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also.
