The Christian Life

¹²Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, ^hput on heartfelt compassion, kindness, ⁱhumility, ^jgentleness, ^kand patience, ^l¹³accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. ^m¹⁴Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity. ¹⁵And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called ⁿin one body, control your hearts. Be thankful. ¹⁶Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God. ¹⁷And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name ^oof the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
