Bible: Colossians 3:8-14
3:8 But now, put off all such things 1 as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth. 3:9 Do not lie to one another since you have put off the old man with its practices 3:10 and have been clothed with the new man 2 that is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one who created it. 3:11 Here there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave 3 or free, but Christ is all and in all.
Exhortation to Unity and Love
3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy, 4 kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 3:13 bearing with one another and forgiving 5 one another, if someone happens to have 6 a complaint against anyone else. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also forgive others. 7 3:14 And to all these 8 virtues 9 add 10 love, which is the perfect bond. 11
