^28 (A)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is no ^(B)male and female, for ^(C)you are all one in ^(D)Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ and have ^(A)put on the new man who is being ^[a](B)renewed to a full knowledge ^(C)according to the image of the One who ^(D)created him— ¹¹ a renewal in which ^(E)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^(F)circumcised and uncircumcised, ^[b](G)barbarian, Scythian, ^(H)slave, and freeman, but ^(I)Christ is all and in all.

¹² So, as the ^(J)elect of God, holy and beloved, ^(K)put on a ^(L)heart of compassion, kindness, ^(M)humility, gentleness, and ^[c](N)patience; ^13 (O)bearing with one another, and ^(P)graciously forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, ^(Q)just as the Lord graciously forgave you, so also should you. ¹⁴ Above all these things put on love, which is ^[d](R)the perfect bond of ^(S)unity. ¹⁵ And let ^(T)the peace of Christ ^[e]rule in your hearts, to which ^[f]indeed you were called in ^(U)one body, and ^[g]be thankful. ¹⁶ Let ^(V)the word of ^[h]Christ dwell in you richly, ^[i]with all wisdom ^(W)teaching and admonishing ^[j]one another ^(X)with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ^(Y)singing ^[k]with gratefulness in your hearts to God. ^17 (Z)And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^(AA)giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Family and Work

^18 (AB)Wives, ^(AC)be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. ^19 (AD)Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. ^20 (AE)Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is pleasing ^[l]to the Lord. ^21 (AF)Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

^22 (AG)Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters ^[m]according to the flesh, ^(AH)not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but with ^[n]integrity of heart, fearing the Lord. ²³ Whatever you do, do your work ^[o]heartily, ^(AI)as for the Lord ^[p]rather than for men, ^24 (AJ)knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward ^[q]of ^(AK)the inheritance. ^[r](AL)Serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵ For ^(AM)he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and ^[s](AN)that without partiality.
