Colossians 3:9–17

^91aDo not lie to one another, since you ^blaid aside the old ²self with its evil practices,

¹⁰and have ^aput on the new self who is being ^1brenewed to a true knowledge ^caccording to the image of the One who ^dcreated him—

¹¹a renewal in which ^athere is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^bcircumcised and uncircumcised, ^cbarbarian, Scythian, ^dslave and freeman, but ^eChrist is all, and in all.

¹²So, as those who have been ^achosen of God, holy and beloved, ^bput on a ^cheart of compassion, kindness, ^dhumility, gentleness and ^1epatience;

^13abearing with one another, and ^bforgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

¹⁴Beyond all these things put on love, which is ^1athe perfect bond of ^bunity.

¹⁵Let ^athe peace of Christ ¹rule in your hearts, to which ²indeed you were called in ^bone body; and ³be thankful.

¹⁶Let ^athe word of ¹Christ richly dwell within you, ²with all wisdom ^bteaching and admonishing ³one another ^cwith psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ^dsinging ⁴with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

^17aWhatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^bgiving thanks through Him to God the Father.
