12 So, as the (A)elect of God, holy and beloved, (B)put on a (C)heart of compassion, kindness, (D)humility, gentleness, and [a](E)patience; 13 (F)bearing with one another, and (G)graciously forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, (H)just as the Lord graciously forgave you, so also should you. 14 Above all these things put on love, which is [b](I)the perfect bond of (J)unity. 15 And let (K)the peace of Christ [c]rule in your hearts, to which [d]indeed you were called in (L)one body, and [e]be thankful. 16 Let (M)the word of [f]Christ dwell in you richly, [g]with all wisdom (N)teaching and admonishing [h]one another (O)with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, (P)singing [i]with gratefulness in your hearts to God. 17 (Q)And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, (R)giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

List of Virtues
12 Therefore, as God’s elect, holy and loved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint against anyone else. Forgive, just as Christ[a] forgave you. 14 And, in addition to all these things, put on love, which ties things together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ control your hearts, to which you were also called, in one body. And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ[b] dwell in you richly, as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God.[c] 17 And everything 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.
