Colossians 3:12-17

Modern English Version

¹² So embrace, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a spirit of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering. ¹³ Bear with one another and forgive one another. If anyone has a quarrel against anyone, even as Christ forgave you, so you must do. ¹⁴ And above all these things, embrace love, which is the bond of perfection.

¹⁵ Let the peace of God, to which also you are called in one body, rule in your hearts. And be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
