Colossians 3:8-15

Put On the New Self

⁸ But now _q you must put them all away: _r anger, wrath, malice, _s slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. ⁹ _t Do not lie to one another, seeing that _u you have put off _v the old self ₁ with its practices ¹⁰ and _w have put on _x the new self, _y which is being renewed in knowledge _z after the image of _a its creator. ¹¹ _b Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, ₂ free; but Christ is _c all, and in all.

¹² _d Put on then, as _e God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, _f compassionate hearts, _g kindness, _h humility, meekness, and patience, ¹³ _h bearing with one another and, _i if one has a complaint against another, _g forgiving each other; _g as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. ¹⁴ And above all these put on _j love, which _k binds everything together in _l perfect harmony. ¹⁵ And let _m the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called _n in one body. And _o be thankful.
