Galatians 3:28
New International Version
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free,(A) nor is there male and female,(B) for you are all one in Christ Jesus.(C)
Colossians 3:10-25
New American Standard Bible
10 and have (A)put on the new self, which is being [a](B)renewed to a true knowledge (C)according to the image of the One who (D)created it— 11 a renewal in which (E)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, (F)circumcised and uncircumcised, [b](G)barbarian, [c]Scythian, (H)slave, and free, but (I)Christ is all, and in all.
12 So, as those who have been (J)chosen of God, holy and beloved, (K)put on a (L)heart of compassion, kindness, (M)humility, gentleness, and [d](N)patience; 13 (O)bearing with one another, and (P)forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; (Q)just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. 14 In addition to all these things put on love, which is [e](R)the perfect bond of (S)unity. 15 Let (T)the peace of Christ, to which you were [f]indeed called in (U)one body, [g]rule in your hearts; and [h]be thankful. 16 Let (V)the word of [i]Christ richly dwell within you, [j]with all wisdom (W)teaching and admonishing [k]one another (X)with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, (Y)singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 (Z)Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, (AA)giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
Family Relations
18 (AB)Wives, (AC)be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 (AD)Husbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them. 20 (AE)Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing [l]to the Lord. 21 (AF)Fathers, do not [m]antagonize your children, so that they will not become discouraged.
22 [n](AG)Slaves, obey those who are your [o]human masters in everything, (AH)not with [p]eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, do your work [q]heartily, (AI)as for the Lord and not for people, 24 (AJ)knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward [r]of (AK)the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you (AL)serve. 25 For (AM)the one who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and [s](AN)that without partiality.

Colossians 3:10-25
New International Version
10 and have put on the new self,(A) which is being renewed(B) in knowledge in the image of its Creator.(C) 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew,(D) circumcised or uncircumcised,(E) barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,(F) but Christ is all,(G) and is in all.
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves(H) with compassion, kindness, humility,(I) gentleness and patience.(J) 13 Bear with each other(K) and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.(L) 14 And over all these virtues put on love,(M) which binds them all together in perfect unity.(N)
15 Let the peace of Christ(O) rule in your hearts, since as members of one body(P) you were called to peace.(Q) And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ(R) dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom(S) through psalms,(T) hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.(U) 17 And whatever you do,(V) whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks(W) to God the Father through him.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers,[a] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance(Z) from the Lord as a reward.(AA) It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.(AB)
