Colossians
3:12-17 NIV
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and
dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with each other and
forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14 And over all these virtues
put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom,
and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in
your hearts to God.
17 And whatever you do, whether
in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through him.
