Colossians 3:7-14

New International Version

⁷ You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.^{(A) 8} But now you must also rid yourselves^(B) of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,^(C) and filthy language from your lips.^{(D) 9} Do not lie to each other,^(E) since you have taken off your old self^(F) with its practices ¹⁰ and have put on the new self,^(G) which is being renewed^(H) in knowledge in the image of its Creator.^{(I) 11} Here there is no Gentile or Jew,^(J) circumcised or uncircumcised,^(K) barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,^(L) but Christ is all,^(M) and is in all.

¹² Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves^(N) with compassion, kindness, humility,^(O) gentleness and patience.^{(P) 13} Bear with each other^(Q) and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.^{(R) 14} And over all these virtues put on love,^(S) which binds them all together in perfect unity.^(T)
